Cedar Breaks National Monument is always worth a visit, because the landscape is so spectacular.
When we visited this time, the site was even more beautiful than usual because the wildflowers were in bloom.
The Columbines were particularly striking.
Wildlife
I never have much luck with seeing wildlife at Cedar Breaks and this time was no different. One of the few animals I saw was this chipmunk.
Birds were few and far between: some Common Ravens, lots of White-crowned Sparrows (below), a couple of Northern Flickers and Mountain Chickadees, a solitary White-throated Swift and a Broad-tailed Hummingbird (below).
The highlight was finding a group of Dark-eyed Juncos that fussed around a picnic table I was sitting at.
