Summary

[edit]
Description

(1 in a multiple picture album) When the wagon trains encountered an impediment to their progress they called it a 'break'. Early settlers mistook the Utah junipers, found at lower elevations, for Cedar trees. Thus, the name Cedar Breaks was given. Prior to this, the Paiutes named the Cedar Breaks amphitheater 'Circle of Painted Cliffs' or 'un-cap-i-un-ump.' There was a forest fire burning to the west which accounts for the haze.

Many folks going to Bryce National Park don't take time to stop at this National Monument but there should, especially in the morning.
