Region: SW UT, Ontario, Canada
Coordinates: 37.6367, -112.8447
Bortle class: 2 (1 = pristine, 9 = inner city)
Drive from Toronto: About 23 miles east of Cedar City, Utah via Highway 14, then north on Highway 148.
Best time: Summer, when the monument's high-elevation road is open (it closes in winter); night sky tours run Friday–Sunday evenings.

## Overview
Cedar Breaks sits at over 10,000 feet on the edge of a colorful eroded amphitheater in southern Utah, which means thinner, cleaner air and some of the steadiest skies in the state. Rangers run telescope nights from the rim right through summer.

## What to see
Milky Way and planets through park telescopes at Point Supreme, plus regular meteor and aurora viewing at this dark, high-altitude site.

## Highlights
- International Dark Sky Park
- Ranger-led Night Sky Tours run seasonally at Point Supreme Overlook
- Annual Southwest Astronomy Festival links Cedar Breaks with Bryce Canyon and Zion

## Tips
- The park road closes with the first heavy snow, typically late October to May
- Elevation over 10,000 ft — dress warmly even in July
- Camping outside the main campground/overlooks is not permitted
