Cedar City 1

Our next stop is Cedar City, Utah, where there are several national parks and monuments.

This is Cedar Breaks National Monument where the trail takes you to the top of the canyon, and you look down 1000 feet and more to the bottom.

These small formations are called hoodoos, and we'll see more of them later.

The canyon views are breathtaking, and the colors of different rock layers fascinating.

We see the first signs of fall, as these aspens are turning along the trail.

In the morning, Peg took this shot of a hot air balloon floating over our campsite. Found out later there was a balloon festival in town. More on day 2.
