After Almont, CO, we were supposed to meet my parents at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, we started to hear engine noise, and after having a mechanic look at it, we decided that we would have to skip the Grand Canyon and head straight for California. We were all disappointed, including my parents! We headed west and looked for an alternative stop for the night. Cedar Breaks National Monument was along our route, and we found an open campsite at Cedar Breaks RV Resort. After a long day of driving, we ate a quick dinner and headed out to explore and catch the sunset.
Cedar Breaks National Monument is in southwestern Utah. The monument has dramatic geological formations, vibrant-colored cliffs, hoodoos, spires, and cliffs. The main attraction is the amphitheater, a large natural bowl-shaped formation stretching over three miles long and a half mile deep. When we left the trailer, it was 85 degrees, and as we came to the first vista point, the temperature was 65! We took in the views, and before you knew it, the boys were in a full-on snowball fight. I tried to stay out of it but got caught in the crossfire! The night ended with a warm campfire and spectacular stargazing.
We made it to Cedar Breaks National Monument!
We made it in time for sunset!
