Cedar Breaks is a really small park not too far away from Zion Np and Bryce canton, which make it easy to also visit this place when you are already visiting the other 2.

I was there for only a few hours, it kinda reminded me of Bryce canyon (which i love) but you can just make a small detour and get there, stop at the 3 view points (there are also 3 hiking trails so you can hike if you have some more time)  which are  just amazing and drive back to where you came from – worth the extra drive.

In general im not a big fan of the grand canyon, i don’t know why but maybe i heard so much about it that by the time i got there it wasn’t that amazing in my eyes. The one thing i do advise you should do as long as you are there is get up real early and go to watch the sunrise – it is really beautiful, make sure to be there like 20-30 minutes before, by the time you will get there you will already see tons of Japanese  tourists with their bombastic cameras, so make sure to be there early enough to find a spot.

Cloudland Canyon is located near the northern end of Lookout Mountain, it is about 2 hours drive north of Atlanta (mainly on highway 75) , and this park is really beautiful, offering some really nice hikes and peaceful atmosphere.  There are few trails, while visiting i walked the Waterfall Trail and loved it,very easy walk and great views, till you get to the end where you see the waterfalls – really nice.

Bryce canyon is one of my favorite national parks, only because it is so unique, it is like nothing you ever seen.

The park located in the south-west of Utah, not too far away from Las Vegas. When arriving to the park you should leave your car at the parking area and use the public shuttle which drive through all the attractions of the park, try to get off on the main view point and choose some hikes to explore this amazing park.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument in Colorado  is a really beautiful spot. The Canyon is really  deep and so narrow its just amazing, in some of the viewpoints you cant even see the river running in it. I visited both rims and even though the southern is more touristic and more developed for visitors, I think the views were better from the north rim.
