We left I-15, heading east on SR 143, and began climbing. The entrance to Cedar Breaks National Monument is at a little over 10,000 feet elevation. As we climbed ever higher, the scenery became more and more beautiful. The Aspens were that stunningly beautiful, vivid yellow. And with the bright yellow leaves, occasional red rocks, and blue skies with puffy white clouds, it was breathtaking! The salmon/red colors were not yet plentiful, but every little bit we’d see some and I would always say ooh-aah-wow, that’s my favorite!
