If it weren't for nearby Zion and Bryce, the national monument would be much better known.
The erosion is on the west side of a high plateau, and the erosion is different than at Bryce (on the east side of a different plateau).

Thanks Mike.
Try to include Cedar Breaks when you're driving between Zion and Bryce- in either direction.
Cedar Breaks won't take long, and the high plateau driving (up to 11,000 feet) is gorgeous!

Try to catch Cedar Breaks near sunset. It is open to the west and the horizon is 30 or so miles away, which results in a nice orange glow due to the low angle of the sun. After the sun sets, the alpenglow casts a pink glow on the bowl. You will probably want to shoot from the south edge of the canyon.

Bryce, on the other hand, is on the east side of a ridge, making it a sunrise/morning shoot. When the sun sets it is still too high in the sky for good colors.

Thanks Phil and Ed.
I prefer Cedar Breaks in the autumn because the sun is fairly low in the sky and you can get good shadows- both in late afternoon and at sunset.
Just don't wait too long in autumn, because at 11,000 feet snow storms can close the road until spring.
