I suppose if I had seen Cedar Breaks before Bryce Canyon, I would have been more impressed. That is not to say that this national monument is not breathtaking, but it does lack some of the grandeur of its local cousin. The Cedar Breaks Amphitheater appears approximately the same size and sits at a slightly higher altitude than Bryce, but lacks the numerous hoodoo structures the national park is famous for. The higher elevation also means that there was still some snow in the area, and the visitor center had yet to open for the year. Still it was amazing in it's own way.
We had originally planned on hitting Zion first and then these two parks the next day, but due to getting a few hours ahead of our planned schedule reversed things a bit. That being said, it was time to start seeing about arrangements for the night and since we had reserved a campsite in Zion, which is where we headed.
