Logistics

• Be prepared! Any visit to Cedar Breaks National Monument will include outdoor walking and exploring. Students should wear sturdy shoes. Be prepared for cooler temperatures and the possiblity of snow. Also keep in mind the sun's UV rays are more intense at higher elevations. Remember to wear your sunscreen. Bring rain gear on cloudy days. Each child should carry a water bottle if you plan to hike within the Monument.
• Restrooms are available by the entrance station near the Visitor Center parking lot. Restrooms are not available along the trails. Use restrooms before hiking.
• Picnicking is available 1/4 mile north of the Visitor Center parking lot. See Ranger for more detailed information about the picnic areas. Please remember to search the area for litter when finished. Use recycling bins for aluminum cans and plastic bottles. Please do not feed any of the wildlife within the Monument.

Help Preserve Cedar Breaks

Cedar Breaks National Monument is a special place set aside to be protected and preserved for future generations. Please help take care of your national monument.

Remember, everything in a national park is protected, from the rocks to the plants and animals. To ensure the protection of Cedar Breaks and a memorable experience, please follow these guidelines.

• Choose the Right Trail: Choose a trail that is best suited for the size, age, and ability of your group.
• Stay on Established Trails: Walking off established roads and trails can trample fragile native plants and increase the rate of erosion. On the Specta Point trail, walking near the edge off the trail can be hazardous. The rocks near the edge are unstable and could break away from the main rock at any time. Please stick to the trail for your safety and the protection of this natural resource.
• Do Not Feed Wildlife: Feeding wild animals is illegal and can cause injury or death to the animal or the human. Keep your distance. Keep wildlife WILD.
• Take Only Pictures, Leave Only Footprints: Enjoy rocks and flowers, but leave for others to enjoy too.
• Carry Out All Trash: Cedar Breaks is your park. Keep it clean and beautiful.
