		Cedar Breaks is a three-mile wide amphitheater of fantastically eroded red, yellow, white and pink-colored buttes and pinnacles which are surrounded by sweet-smelling alpine forests and meadows full of wildflowers (well, in the summer, at least).
		Cedar Breaks is technically open year-round, but due to heavy snowfall the roads are not plowed from October until May. During the summer visitors can check out the visitors center, which has a book and gift shop, the scenic drive, trails and overlooks, a 30-slot campground with water and restrooms, and numerous picnic grounds.
		Maybe such a misnomer worked to the area’s advantage, though: until the area was designated a national monument in 1933, almost no one outside of southern Utah knew about.
