I go to Utah all the time. I have not heard of this one before. Windy day. Hope you have a wonderful holiday. I am truly thankful for YT friends like you.
Randy, Wow! great scenery, and a nice hike with Julie. THANK YOU for sharing this video, now I have to add this spot on our plans to go to Zion (Fall 2021?) What a great job catching Ranger Maya to talk about the Bristlecone Pine. Excellent view of the Alpine Pond and the Blue Lupine. . . . Mike
What fun that must have been! We took a break from decorating the Christmas tree to watch! And will be joining y’all online in the morning. Love y’all and enjoy your evening 👍
Thanks for this taste of "little Bryce"! One of my most enduring memories of Cedar Breaks from my visit in 1973 was coming upon a group of semis prominently marked with the CBS logo. Nearby they were set up shooting a scene where none other than the legendary Matt Dillon, James Arness, was duking it out with the bad guy!
Great video. While I have been to most of the national parks in the West featured in America's Parks, I have never been to Cedar Breaks and have always wanted to visit the park. This video will help get me there some day.
It sure did look windy but did not stop a great hike and as always, spectacular views. Nice to get your own personal guide to explain Bristlecone Pines and at 5K years old, man they are super old. Plenty of tough hiking but nothing to stop two young fit kids like you and your delightful lady! Cheers Alan
Hello America's Park's😊😊, and what an awesome video this is! Cedar Breaks is super SPECTACULAR. It's certainly very similar to Bryce Canyon National Park and but far less people. I can see how difficult that cold wind was trying to navigate those trails at such a high elevation. That ranger was super nice and very informative. I'm sure this park gets feet of snow during winter. Great video and looking forward to the next video!
Hello Julie & Randy ! What a beautiful place! Never heard of it thanks for showing us ! Quite windy that day and a bit cold but so much worth it ! Now you are the expert of Utah ...Lol! Have a wonderful weekend God bless you! H&S 👩❤️👨🌈🇨🇦
@@AmericasParks I do agree with you Randy ...so much ! We are safe at home most of the time ...we are retired so it’s a bit easy to stay safe ! Greetings and god bless you !🙏😉👍
This one blew me away LOL (Sorry couldn't resist the pun). What a beautiful place. Those vistas we jaw dropping. Shoutout to all the Rangers out there. Such a blessing to have them out there protecting and sharing nature with us all. Great video as always and can't wait for the next video :) Much love
Word up brother, nice job! Best wishes. It would be cool to cruise the bottom of that canyon too, super cool looking! I wish I could fly my drone there from above, it would be like Star Wars, buzzing through all those towers. lol!
Nice park to add to your vast library Randy. Always love seeing you do clips of places that are not in your pack of videos yet. Cant wait to see some more! We also loved our stop there back in 2018. It was also windy but warmer.
Excellent tour!! we have not been here but now we feel like we have /// Awesome views but Wow windy!! good deal on the downed tree and also cool you had a Ranger along and found another viewer out there
Great video Randy! Got to love those high elevation locations and the wind that accompanies it. I once caught a sunset on the Sunset Trail and it was magnificent! Plus I also lost a set of car keys at the park campground and never found them again. Thankfully I had another key but I was paranoid the rest of the trip to not lose that one since were going way back in the Grand Staircase area and the worst thing that I could imagine was being locked out!
Great vlog Randy with useful tips and meaningful interactions! Hiking with strong winds is a totally different experience. Julie is a trooper! Beautiful views and the oldest trees on earth, we will have to stop there next time. Thank you for making us discover this amazing National Monument! We wish you and your family a great weekend.
That part of Utah has pretty cool weather in the Summer. I have been there before and hiked a lot of the trails there as well. Seems like the wind was a bit much and always a filming nightmare. Thanks for sharing your adventure Randy.
Thanks, Eric! The wind eliminated the tripod and made recording the sound a bit tricky. Still some great memories that day. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving!
OK, this is one of the better lesser known park sites. The Alpine Pond loop was a personal favorite (Julie, you missed out!) I do remember getting a bit winded due to the elevation. Hope to run into you some day.
That is a beautiful park and the colors and clarity of your video came through wonderfully. That is a crazy fact on the life span of the Bristlecone Pines. I had no idea. Cedar Breaks looks like the light version of Bryce Canyon which makes sense given the proximity between the two. I also wouldn’t have imagined the elevation being that high. When I hear 10,000 feet I picture mountains not this type of setting. If you are doing Bryce Canyon, would you recommend hitting this park as well or are they too similar and your time might be spent better elsewhere? Again great video and Happy Holidays!
Appreciate the comment, Michael! If you have the time, I'd suggest a stop here. To get a feel for things, a half day is probably sufficient. Have a blessed Christmas!
Wow, what amazing views! Thank you for sharing visits to many places I've never even heard of before (would like to check them out in the future though)!
Thanks again for sharing another example of God's amazing handywork.Fortunately wind doesn't effect the beautiful views. God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🙏🙏
great video - at our visit there was a (controlled) fire ongoing - so there was a little smoke coming from the canyon but it was fine. but we didn't do any hike - next time - you inspired us. :-)
Beautiful view as always. I’m glad it’s not windy when I went there and soo happy to see the trails that u guys did, wish I can do the hike but I get hungry easily 😂
I love cedar breaks. I’ve been lucky enough to be going there my whole life. We have family property that we have to go into the monument to access and borders the monument. You should go to the twisted forest in the ashdown gorge wilderness area on the northwestern side of the park
Southern Utah is insane there are more national parks there than there are McDonalds. I only had time to get to the Mighty Five and of them Bryce was my favorite day by far. Zion was most beautiful, but all 5 are amazing amazing parks and Delicate Arch is drop dead gorgeous. Okay point of my comment... the rangers out West seem way more talkative and willing to help if you have questions. When I went to the Smokies and to Michigan they seemed overly busy and didn’t have the time to talk. I don’t know if that has to do with lack of staff/budget or just how people are. The ranger in this video made me think of this. I did see signs for Cedar Breaks several times driving around Southern Utah. Maybe next time if I am lucky
Great Video! I've been up to Cedar Breaks a ton actually. I spent 8 summers working about half an hour down the mountain in Cedar City. I was only into photography when I was doing that seasonal job, so I never had the opportunity to make a video as I'm a pretty new RUclipsr. But I know my path will lead me back out there to Cedar City again one day as after spending 8 separate summers there I somewhat consider it my second home.
@@AmericasParks Yeah. About a 30 min drive to Cedar Breaks. I'd drive up there after work sometimes. 30 minutes down the road to Zion Kolob Canyons, maybe an hour and fifteen to get to Zion (proper), an hour and a half to Bryce Canyon. Capitol Reef was a bit further to get to. We would get so busy at work that it made it tough to get out sometimes though. But alas, thats how it goes sometimes. Have to work hard to play hard as they say.
A brand new one for me! Thanks for highlighting this gem! The views and trees are beautiful. We’ll definitely have to remember the relatively short visitation window though. Weather at that elevation obviously can be dicey. This trip was the end of June, what month was the trip with Kayla? Thanks for sharing...take care.
asking for advice. Trying to organize to go back to Utah next Sept. (we are from Ireland so we need some advance planning). Thinking to be based in Cedar City for two or three nights and visiting Bryce on one day (I already saw it but my friends did not so go back again), then need to decide between Cedar Break and Dixie. Which of these two is the best and how much time needed to visit nicely. One afternoon or better the whole day ? Thanks in advance ..
Hello and greetings from the USA! Both are nice parks and seldom visited. A half day is sufficient to see most of Cedar Breaks. There are only a few, easily marked trails. Dixie (my most recent upload) is a bit larger, but one day is sufficient to get a feel for what the place offers. The activities/trails are not as clearly identified.The nice thing about Dixie is that it is super-close to Bryce. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
@@AmericasParks thanks. We are making our plans and we think to see Antelope, Bryce, Cedar Breaks and Arches, in 4 days..then we would fly to Vancouver /Seattle area and see Olympic and some more nature places there

Very pretty but very windy. Nice ranger.
Maya was great! Nice memories!
YOU GOT RECOGNIZED!! THAT'S AWESOME!! Beautiful video, as always. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, guys! Always fun to put those in there and give a "shout-out" to those who have enjoyed the channel. Have a great week!
I go to Utah all the time. I have not heard of this one before. Windy day. Hope you have a wonderful holiday. I am truly thankful for YT friends like you.

Thanks, Mike! Definitely worth a visit - 1/2-full day is sufficient. Just tough to get there due to the short season.
Such a diverse landscape. Love seeing all the Pines out there. I bet you that extended Trail is pretty hard. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Nick! Would have really enjoyed that extended trail. Maybe another time!
Did this hike a couple of months ago, at 10,300 feet nice hike going to ramparts, coming out you have to work a little. RECOMMENDED.
So true, Bob! Nice to hear you've experienced Cedar Breaks.
Wow that is pretty high and we absolutely love southern Utah! Fall is probably the best time to visit too! - Andrew
Yeah, tough to beat that area! Glad to get to CB - often it's still closed when we're up there. Take care!
Bummer about the wind😬 it will zap the will out of ya, still the scenery is killer! Looked like you guys had the park to yourself👍🏼. Nice job Randy!
Yeah, pretty cool to see so few people there. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, Matt!
What fun that must have been! We took a break from decorating the Christmas tree to watch! And will be joining y’all online in the morning. Love y’all and enjoy your evening 👍
Oh and Joyce said you both have beautiful smile’s 👍
So wonderful to read all that, Jim! Much encouraged! Plan to hit Luke 22:1-6 tomorrow. Great to have you with us!

Always love a good National Park story! Wow, what a cool memory!
Great video. Looks like an awesome park. That wind must have been crazy.
Thanks! We knew it might be a bit chilly up there at 10K feet, but weren't expecting that wind! Take care!
Great video. While I have been to most of the national parks in the West featured in America's Parks, I have never been to Cedar Breaks and have always wanted to visit the park. This video will help get me there some day.
Neat, Martin! Hope it works out for you. High elevation so the season is fairly short.
What a gorgeous gorgeous park. I would love to go there
Hope you can one day!

Thanks, Thorn! Loved the comment!
It would be awesome to watch a video about your life: past and present, outside of your park vacations.
Thanks for expressing that interest, Merrick! Nice idea!
I just think you and your family are great. But I understand if you guys are private people. Thank you.

It was a wild one, Ray! Made it tough recording the sound!
Cedar Breaks is a wonderful place. I just finished a trip to Virgin Islands National Park.
Cool! Hope to get out there one of these days!
OK, this is one of the better lesser known park sites. The Alpine Pond loop was a personal favorite (Julie, you missed out!) I do remember getting a bit winded due to the elevation. Hope to run into you some day.

@@AmericasParks same to you brother!
It looks a lot like Bryce. I did not know it and we missed when driving from Cedar City to Bryce....next time hopefully
Right on! I'd saw Bryce is a little prettier, but C. Breaks beats Bryce big time with way fewer crowds. Take care!
@@AmericasParks ok, next time I will not miss it
I can't believe I had never heard of this place! Stunning views Randy! Was it really cold or just windy? Beautiful job guys!
Hey Tom, no doubt windy. As for the coldness, depends on whom (b/t Julie and I) you ask. lol!
The only thing I have done at this one is look at an overlook and it was covered in snow. I will try again sometime.
Yeah, with the high elevation - need to hit things just right. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Love Utah. I was not aware of the Bristlecone Pine trees in the area.
Thanks for watching, my friend! Tough to beat Utah!!!
I love cedar breaks. I’ve been lucky enough to be going there my whole life. We have family property that we have to go into the monument to access and borders the monument. You should go to the twisted forest in the ashdown gorge wilderness area on the northwestern side of the park
