Cedar Breaks National Monument

Point Supreme | Chessman Overlook

2,000 feet deep
3 miles in diameter
Decending from the 10,000'+ tall Markagunt Plateau
Iron and Manganese
Indians called it the" Circle of Painted Cliffs"
In 1933 Cedar Breaks National Monument was established

We car camped at the Chessman Ridge Overlook, I was hoping that the sun would come out in the morning, this time it did. The park was amazing, alot like Bryce Canyon, but much more colorful. It looks like an earlier version of Bryce.

Your pics and website ate truly awesome. I have never been there, but you have
captured Utah in all it's glory!

As a resident of Cedar City (93&94) this was my beloved "Backyard". This spot
was perfect for my attemps at Stereo Photography (Full Frame 35mm) Thanks for
taking me back there! Also I am a group member of "Utah Landscapes" on
FlickR.com ( a photo sharing community) and have invited the other members to
visit this wonderful site. I must mention that in the 80s I had a goal of
capturing on film, all the VABMs (vertical angle benchmarks) on top of the peaks
in northern Utah. All "my best" are on slides and will have to figure out how to
get them to new fangled digital format! Thanks again, Dave

Best qual photos on webb! Just rtnd fm 3k motorcyle trip to sw UT, based at
Brian. I cld't stop for every shot worth taking, but sure glad you did! I can
only imagine the shots that didn't make the cuts- would like to know what cam(s)
you used. Your lighting is superb. Do you use filters at the taking or do you
need to enhance? Your work greatly adds to my memories of Cedar, Zion, N Rim,
Bryce, Esc, Burr, Cap Rf and Canyonlands. Thank you, and Congratulations on you
site. You left no stone unturned.
