Hike Alpine Pond Nature Trail, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Utah

Add to My List Check Off

The Alpine Pond Nature Trail is a two-mile double-loop trail through forest and meadows. The lower trail offers excellent views of the "breaks." The upper trail takes you past meadows of native wildflowers, through spruce-fir-aspen forest, and past ancient deposits of volcanic materials. Located half-way through the loop is the Alpine pond. This natural, spring-fed pond offers visitors a quiet location to enjoy and relax. A small strand of bristlecone pines can also be viewed from this trail. The Alpine Pond is easy to moderate in difficulty. For a shorter trail, take the cut-off at the pond to make the hike a one-mile loop trail. Make sure to bring Bug Spray since fly's, nat's and mosquito's are common. Bikes and motorized vehicles are not allowed on any of the hiking trails located within the monument. Pets are only permitted on the Campground Trail.
