English: edar Breaks consists of a multicolored, cliff-like escarpment ("break") surrounded by juniper trees ("cedars") in southwestern Utah, USA.

Cedar Breaks is an American park, a national monument actually, with similar scenery and geology as Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah. Cedar Breaks is part of the Colorado Plateau physiographic province, which in the northern Arizona-southern Utah area consists of a series of "colored cliffs". The rocks exposed in the escarpment at Cedar Breaks represent the Pink Cliffs. The subhorizontal sedimentary rocks here are part of the Claron Formation (Wasatch Group, Upper Paleocene-Eocene). Claron Formation rocks are nonmarine, lacustrine limestones, calcareous shales, siltstones, and sandstones. These sediments were deposited in ancient Lake Claron, a large, long-lived basin that received considerable siliciclastic sediments from surrounding eroding uplands. Differing levels of iron oxides (the minerals hematite and limonite) impart different colors - reds, pinks, yellows, orangish-browns - to the rocks. Differential weathering and differential erosion of these lacustrine sedimentary rocks created the varied small-scale and large-scale landforms here. The pillar-like structures are called hoodoos. They are common at Cedar Breaks and at Bryce Canyon, a national park in southern Utah.

Offset bedding by minor faults are visible from the Point Supreme overlook.
