Cedar Breaks, Utah

Operation Baba was in Utah this week. Unfortunately, I was working a lot, so we didn't spend much time in the mountains. Finally, on Saturday, we made a run to Brian Head and Cedar Breaks. The road to Brian Head, however, was still blocked by snow and, even with the Chev, I wasn't going to try it. So, after dodging the flip-flop wearers strewn around on the road who seemed to be surprised to find that the Utah mountains were not the right place for beach-wear (does the whole fat world wear shorts and sandals everywhere they go?), we did the short tour of Cedar Breaks. It snowed hard the whole time, but it was beautiful and Baba enjoyed it. After that, we went down through Cedar Canyon and stopped a couple of times in the vicinity of Moots Hollow to look around. I think that is a spectacular part of the canyon and would like to explore it more but, of course, Highway 14 is like the Daytona 500—it is dangerous to even take your foot off the floorboard for fear of being run over from behind. Finally, we finished our tour in Cedar City where everyone in the truck got a prize at the Thrift Store for a grand total of $2.75.
