CPNNZOB, The Cedar Breaks (almost)

The Cedar Breaks is an area that is similar to Bryce Canyon.  It’s just situated differently in that it’s essentially right in the middle of a mountain range.  They don’t keep the road open in the winter time, and I knew that, but I also knew the drive up there would beautiful.  It didn’t disappoint.

Up on top of Cedar Mountain it opens up to a winter activity dream area.  There are forested trails for cross country skiing or snowshoeing, and plenty of open area for snowmobilers to careen around like maniacs.  I just love the whine those things make.

For the first time ever in my life, and very likely the last, I sorta wished I had a snowmobile to ride up to The Breaks on.  The urge passed quickly though.

Duck Creek had a summertime campground nearby with some trails, so it was a good place for a walk.  In spite of the snow pack it was calm and mid forties.  Another great day for going from Spring to Winter and back to Spring at the end of the day.  It was about 70 when I returned to Kanab.
