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.

Cedar Breaks National Monument sits high on the Markagunt Plateau, offering riders a striking reward after the long climb from Cedar Canyon. The rim overlooks a massive amphitheater of red and orange hoodoos, similar to Bryce Canyon but far quieter and more intimate. Expect cooler temperatures and strong winds at the top, and take advantage of the overlook pullouts for a break. The views here are some of the best you’ll get on two wheels in southern Utah.

Tackling Highway 143 from Panguitch finishing at the North View Overlook in Cedar Breaks National Monument, you'll experience a scenic and significant road biking ascent on a beautiful state highway and National Scenic Byway. Starting around 6,600 feet in Panguitch, you'll climb approximately 15 miles, gaining about 3,400 feet to reach the North View Overlook at around 10,000 feet elevation, with a mixed but overall challenging gradient as you ascend towards the Markagunt Plateau. As you ride Utah's Patchwork Parkway, the scenery is stunning, passing Panguitch Lake, climbing through forests and meadows, and culminating in breathtaking views of the colorful red rock amphitheater of Cedar Breaks National Monument from the overlook.

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.

This is a smooth paved trail following the river all the way. It’s a perfect trail to contemplate the landscape and see the different layers of rock that form the canyon. Along the way, you can find informative boards explaining the geology.

Consistently ranked high on lists of the best colleges for outdoor enthusiasts, it's near stunning natural wonders like Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Cedar Breaks National Monument. The SUU campus is situated in a picturesque location with views of the Cedar Mountains. The campus itself is well-maintained and features a variety of trees, sculptures, and art installations.

The Cedar Breaks National Monument is located on the west side of the Paunsaugunt-Plateaus. You might know the much more famous "brother" Bryce Canyon on the east side. The bizarre red sandstone formations in this small park might remind you of those in Bryce Canyon.

This is an easy and charming trail with not much elevation gain. At the beginning it goes through pasture land, with some other paths crossing it. Have your map in hand, just to make sure that you get the right trail going to the green uphills and enjoy the sweeping meadow views.
