For Teachers

Educational Opportunities:

At over 10,000 feet in elevation, Cedar Breaks National Monument rests on top of the Colorado plateau. Millions of years of sedimentation, uplift, and erosion have carved out this giant amphitheater, that spans some three miles and is more than 2000 feet deep. Students can learn about the forces that created this breathtaking view. It's a wonderful outdoor classroom for school groups. The following material should help you plan a successful educational experience.
