Cedar Breaks National Park

Cedar Breaks Natioanal monument, is just up the mountain from Cedar City, Utah. It is about an hour drive from downtown and up a winding canyon almost like Provo Canyon. The rocks are red, and part of Iron County.



It is not very often that I get to take time out and actually go somewhere fun, and exciting by myself! This photo above and below are of a short drive taken after my work was completed in Cedar City this last week. It felt like I was on a paid vacation, which it was in that after work was done, I could go to the pool, a play or go to dinner with the others who became good friends.


Brian Head, the ski resort was on the way out of Cedar Breaks. My friend, Terri, who is also from Lindon, invited be to drive along and take in the beautiful scenery. It was a great blessing as we traveled earlier last week to St. George from Fillmore. Then back from Cedar City to Lindon.

My engine light went on just after we stopped to look around at Cove Fort. Terri drove to Meadow a few miles away, picked up a few quarts of oil, and I was not stranded there since the car seemed to be chugging along when the engine light went on. I sat along the side of the road and let the engine rest, then put in half a quart of oil when she came back. She was a lifesaver and I was so glad I took the extra time to see the sights and had a friend to make sure I made it home. I could not thank her enough for inviting me, otherwise I would have been on my own for who knows how long about 100 miles from home.

I felt the hand of God watching over me and all the prayers in my behalf to be safe and arrive home safely, and so grateful for a good friend in a time of need.
