Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah is excited to announce the return of Guided Snowshoe Tours this winter season. These ranger-led hikes offer a unique chance to experience the park’s serene, snow-covered landscape, providing a peaceful escape when access to the park is otherwise limited during winter. The tours will be held every Friday and Saturday throughout the season, weather permitting.

The tours are designed for all skill levels, making them perfect for families and beginners. Covering a gentle 1-mile round-trip route, participants will enjoy easy winter hiking while learning about the park’s geology, history, wildlife, and the resilient ecosystems that thrive in cold weather. Snowshoes and ski poles are provided free of charge, and there is no additional cost to join a tour. However, visitors must pay a $25 entrance fee per vehicle, unless they have an Interagency Annual Pass (America the Beautiful Pass), which waives the fee for everyone in a single vehicle.

In addition to snowshoe tours, Cedar Breaks is also bringing back its Saturday evening Night Sky Tours. These free, reservation-required experiences begin with an indoor, ranger-led astronomy program where visitors can learn about the cosmos while staying cozy near a wood-burning stove. After the indoor program, participants head outdoors to view celestial objects through telescopes, connecting with the night sky in the peaceful setting of Cedar Breaks.

Reservations are required for both the snowshoe and night sky tours and can be made online through the Cedar Breaks National Monument website. Space is limited, so interested visitors are encouraged to book early.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
