The amphitheater and hoodoos of Utah's Cedar Breaks National Monument are still accessible during the winter months despite the roads being closed due to heavy snowfall.
Cedar Breaks National Monument will bring back park ranger-guided snowshoeing tours on weekends in January to give visitors a taste of what it is like to explore the park by foot. There will be two daily programs on Saturdays and Sundays.
Staffing caused the program to go on hiatus. The showshoe walks at the Cedar Breaks National Monument were brought back to the public after two years, according to a report.
The new 90-minute tour provides snowshoes and poles. The cost of entry into the monument is $10 per person, but there is no fee outside of that.

There are two tours a day, one at 10am and the other at 1pm on Saturdays and Sundays. The tours last 90 minutes.
Since the park has limited parking and gear, it also has limited spots available for tours. The park staff encourages those who want to participate to make a reservation as soon as possible.
You can call or email the park to make a reservation.
