Scenic Byway 148 - Cedar Breaks National Monument
Eighteen miles east of Cedar City on Highway U-l4 is the junction for Scenic Byway U-148. The road travels through wildflower meadows of the Dixie National Forest to Cedar Breaks National Monument Cedar Breaks is a large, natural amphitheater about three miles wide, 2,500 feet deep. The walls of Cedar Breaks are eroded in carved spires and dazzling rock formations. The amphitheater glows with an incredible color spectrum of saffron, coral, lavender, and ivory. Small stands of Bristlecone Pines, the world's oldest living tree species, grow along the rim. From Cedar Breaks, the highway continues north to meet Highway U-143. Scenic Byway 148 is only six miles long and is closed in the winter months due to snow conditions (generally from mid-November to late May).
