In the early 1900s, the Utah Parks Company took tourists on a Grand Circle Tour of the National Parks. Stops included Zion National Park, North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Cedar Breaks National Monument (NM). Today, Utahs Patchwork Parkway and adjacent Scenic Byways harken back to the historic tour. Explore the Parkway and experience Cedar Breaks NM and the Dixie National Forest, while immersing yourself in the rich culture and history of Southern Utan.
