Day Six - Panguitch to Cedar City via Cedar Breaks

I've done this route five times now. Today the weather was absolutely, incredibly perfect. Two of the other four times we were pounded with hail and freezing rain. Sunshine and warmth is definitely better!
Elizabeth is all smiles at Panguitch Lake.
Jann and I take a little break as we pass the 9,000' mark. I felt really strong and the altitude didn't slow me down until we neared 10,000' and the road pitched upwards...
Bow and I start to feel a little winded as we climb above 10,000'. It's no big deal really - but it helps to have that one bigger cog...
Here I am with my husband, Brian, and my father-in-law, Ron, at the summit at Cedar Breaks National Monument.
Cedar Breaks is like a super-mini Bryce.
The start of the 17 mile descent into Cedar City. The descent has amazing, diverse views!
One of my all-time favorite routes: 59 miles with 4,700' of climbing!
