Cedar Breaks Wildflower Festival

This year’s festival at Cedar Breaks National Monument had a late bloom due to a cold and wet winter. Snow was still in the area until June. Cedar Breaks is at an elevation between 9 and 10,000 feet. The columbine were in full bloom but the sunflowers and lupine were a little late in blooming.

Cedar Breaks Flora

Cedar Breaks National Monument is a geologic marvel but in July, visitors come for the floral display. At over 10,000 feet in elevation, the seasons arrive later than sooner.
