Robert writes, "This beautiful National Monument is one of those gems that is often overlooked since its neighboring Bryce Canyon draws all the attention and large crowds. It is only about an hour away from Bryce.
It is much like Bryce Canyon, but at a much smaller scale. It is still very picturesque, with very few crowds (we were the only ones that day). It has a new Visitors' Center, with some hikes around the rim, and awesome views that make it a worthwhile stop. Due to its 10,000 foot elevation and winter snow pack, the main entrance road is open to car traffic only from late-May through mid-October. The day of our visit it was windy and around 34 degrees; the idea of any type of hiking was quickly put to rest." Comments | Permalink
