Cedar Breaks National Monument


Roads reopen July 7th

Although there are many special places to see in the United States, few offer a spectacular view similar to Cedar Breaks.  Come visit a park that offers you the chance to stand above 10,000 feet on a cliff edge surrounded by lush forests and flower-covered meadows looking into a desert amphitheater 2,500 feet deep, covered with incredible, multi-colored hoodoos.

From now until mid-May, visit spectacular Cedar Breaks National Monument in winter by snowmobile, cross country skis or snowshoes. Stop by our Yurt which serves as a winter ranger station on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the winter. Enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, learn about the park from warm and friendly park rangers and volunteer staff, and experience the amazing solitude and supreme winter landscape. Note that winter season opening and closing, as well as Yurt staffing dates may be slightly earlier or later and are subject to favorable weather conditions.

Princess Festival



June 19-30, 2012
(Closed Sundays and Mondays)
9 am - 1 pm and 2 pm - 6 pm
Children's Discovery Garden at Thanksgiving Point

Now entering its fifth year the Princess Festival moves to Thanksgiving Point. The Children’s Discovery Gardens are transformed into a princess playland where pre-registered girls may visit princess stations throughout the Garden for photo ops, mini-performances, glass slipper fittings and more!

This year the Princess Festival is going to be slightly different than seasons past. For starters, your little Princess will have the opportunity to join in six different shortened adventures at your own pace and choosing, each 15 minutes long for a total of 1.5 hours (instead of one 40-minute guided adventure). This will make the groups of girls smaller (15-20 girls at a time), and make it easier to work your way around.
We are still finalizing the details of the adventures, but this year we are planning to bring you:

  • The story of the Magic Flute
  • The Twelve Dancing Princesses 
  • Everley's Princess Ilissa's adventure 
  • Everley's Princess Kadesia's adventure 
  • ...and more!

 *For more information and to register please visit WWW.PRINCESSFESTIVAL.COM


General Admission: $15/person for all attendees over 36 months old
Under 36 months old, FREE with a paid admission
To purchase tickets please visit WWW.PRINCESSFESTIVAL.COM
