    Hiking

    Although located at a fabulous 3188m, the area is lined with trees and the meadows are lush green. This second vantage point offers more impressions.

    Chessmen Ridge Overlook is a quick but worthwhile pause along the high plateau, giving you a clear look into the deep, sculpted canyons of Cedar Breaks. It’s an easy pull-off with easy access to the viewpoint. The elevation here keeps things crisp, so it’s a good place to gauge the weather before committing to the next stretch.
