CAMP
Cedar City
BOOTS COATED IN DUST AND A THOUSAND OR SO EXTRA IMAGES IN THE CAMERA ROLL. Are there more obvious signs of a great summer getaway? With the 60th anniversary of the Utah Shakespeare Festival, higher elevations, and cooler temps, a trip to Cedar City is just the thing! Bags packed and bucket list for adventure in southern Utah in hand, we’re setting out to discover the ultimate summer adventure basecamp. In and around Cedar City are a variety of environments, activities, and incredible views, making it easy to extend your stay. Within an hour drive from the heart of downtown we discovered brightly colored rock formations and wildflowers, ancient trees, and stories etched into stone and spoken from a stage.
