High in the mountains of south central Utah at Cedar Breaks, at over 10,000ft, you find one of the highest places in Utah. Continuing southeast from the main overlook is a lava field with interesting limestone features sitting over or around the volcanic rock. At around 8,500ft surrounded by birch and pine is Duck Creek Ice Cave — a limestone pocket that holds ice year-round. Not much to the cave itself other than its perpetual cold, but the colors of oxidizing elements on the walls are striking. A nice add-on if you're already in the Cedar Breaks area.
