Journey through Cedar Canyon: 4K Drive to Jacob Lake Arizona

If you are following along on this journey, we are only just getting started. I’m keeping this description short and sweet, so not too much to read today. Leaving Valley of Fire, I couldn’t stop thinking about getting into Arizona for the first time to see the Grand Canyon.. but first we had to drive a route we weren’t expecting due to a forest fire. I believe it was the France Canyon Fire, which burned over 33,000 acres of land in the Dixie National Forest. So what we have here, is a very scenic and unexpected detour that eventually got us to Jacob Lake, by way of Arizona, Utah and back into Arizona. From visitutah.com: “Cedar Canyon and State Route 14 are the gateway to a high alpine playground. Prepare for a day or load up with gear and spend a week exploring. Ancient lava fields, beautiful pine forests, and unbeatable scenic views are waiting only miles from downtown Cedar City. “Off Cedar City Highway 14 are the entrances to Brian Head Resort, Cedar Breaks National Monument, the Zion Overlook, Navajo Lake, and the Virgin River Rim. All can be reached from Cedar City within an hour. “You will be driving along the Markagunt Plateau, the raised area of earth located in southern Utah between Interstate 15 and Highway 89 and part of the Colorado Plateau, resides above 9,000 feet, which is nice because it keeps the summer temperature comfortable. Numerous trails, scenic overlooks, lakes, and ponds are found right off the highway. Dixie National Forest offers both primitive and formal campgrounds that are located throughout the area. There are even lodges and cabins available for rent that would make for an awesome mountain retreat.” Of course for us, this was a pass through, so aside from one viewpoint and a lunch break, we admired the area’s beauty from behind the windshield. It was a long day, but sometimes you have to do a detour you weren’t expecting in order to get to your ultimate destination. And sometimes that detour may take a little longer in order to avoid danger, but the gift is in what you would have never experienced along the way. Friday’s video is an absolute jewel of desert landscapes, as it depicts my first day ever exploring Arizona. Dramatic scenery deserves dramatic music… you’ll see what I mean. Anyways, enjoy this unexpected and beautiful drive along a route most people don’t take unless it’s their destination. See you Friday♥️
