CEDAR CITY Cedar Breaks National Monument, which received an uptick in visitation in 2020, will soon have a new visitor contact station.
Park officials and Gov. Spencer Cox announced Monday that a new center will help the park expand its open season. The new facility will include interpretive exhibits, a dark sky base camp and a park bookstore. There will be wildflower programs and new field classes will also be available at the centers.
Project officials said they believe it will provide a better visitor experience for the hundreds of thousands of people who visit the area annually. This project restores the heritage of Cedar Breaks as the gateway to southern Utah s high alpine experience and the entrance to Utah s red rock country, said Mark Preiss, director of the Zion Forever Project.
