Climbing Cedar Canyon on Utah's Highway 14 from Cedar City is an unforgettable journey through spectacular scenery, rising from the valley floor into a dramatic canyon carved through vibrant red and pink cliffs towards the high Markagunt Plateau. Prepare for a very long, sustained ascent of approximately 17 miles, gaining over 4,000ft to reach very high elevations near 10,000ft. The climb is predominantly steady, averaging around 4-5% with the steepest miles approaching 8%. You'll eventually reach aspen and fir forests high on the plateau. Be very mindful of the very high altitude and expect significant temperature drops from base to summit; variable mountain weather is common.
