“Cedar Breaks” — Eroded sandstone strata at Cedar Breaks National Monument.

Cedar Breaks seems to me a bit of an odd spot. It sits on the edge of a high ridge in Utah just south of the Brian Head ski area. While it is spectacular, it is small, and and out of the way, and I think that it gets a bit lost by comparison to the other iconic parks of the state. In fact, it wasn’t a primary destination for us either — it was near a convenient place to spend a few nights on our way between California and points east of here…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/12/23/cedar-breaks/

A lot of this walk is alongside old sea cliffs and features of raised beaches. In places the path is below the cliffs, at others it is above.
First part of the walk is over yellow and red sandstones (possibly old red sandstone) then carboniferous volcanics nearer to St Andrews.
