Kolob Canyons is actually part of Zion National Park (1 hour), but has a separate entrance and is located 40mins closer to Cedar City. 20 mins from home, it's a great place to get the feel of Zion, without all the crowds. At the top of the stunning 5 mile drive up the canyons, is The Timber Creek Overlook Trail. A short hike (about a mile) with a killer vista. There are also longer hikes through the canyons, stop at the ranger station for more info on your way in!

Kanarraville Falls is a famous hike through slot canyons. There are tree ladders and rope climbs that lead to dramatic waterfalls. Takes several hours to hike the whole thing, but the entire hike is beautiful so many hikers are satisfied to go a ways, and then turn around. You'll need a reservation for this hike so make sure to get that. And ALWAYS check the local and surrounding weather before you hike in canyons.

Zion National Park is the reason most visitors come to Southern Utah! It is a beautiful place with a diverse landscape. There are two ways to get to Zion from here. You can go over Cedar Mountain to the East Entrance; or south on I-15, take the Toquerville exit, hang a left in La Verkin, and climb the hill to Springdale! Both are beautiful drives and take about the same amount of time. I recommend taking one way there, and another way back as both are littered with places to stop, hike, and take it all in! If you take the back way over Cedar Mountain, you will climb in elevation more (up to 7000ft), and there are far less food and gas stops. That's the backcountry way, but it's lovely and far less crowded!

Don't have time to drive to Bryce? Try Cedar Breaks Monument! Half the distance, and as you can see, still very Bryce-like! *note that the road is closed in the winter-check before you go*
