Cedar City Real Estate

Who knew that one of the best places about exploring America’s great and legendary ‘Old West,’ was not the spectacular national parks surrounding Cedar City but Cedar City itself. You see, when I decided that I had to lead my family to some place extraordinary, I had no idea that the city we planned just to spend the night became the highlight of our western adventure.

Cedar City was only going to be out base camp, so to speak, where we would simply sleep and perhaps eat, if beef jerky got too stale. But two weeks later, I was researching Cedar City real estate intently on my laptop computer. Now, the grand parks which surround Cedar City are extraordinary, let me digress. In fact, Zion national park, on the western edge of the Colorado Plateau in southeastern Utah is about the most spectacular place on the face of the earth, as far as I’m concerned. By the way, the Colorado Plateau is like a big circle that stretch in major areas of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Many rock layers in this area have experienced massive changes and transformations over millenniums. Rock layers have been eroded by the wind and water. 

I think I may have had a Zen experience of ‘Satori,’ or sudden enlightenment when I visited a major geologic feature called the Grand Staircase… The Grand Staircase is a  series of colorful cliffs stretching between Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon. The area, forgive me for being sentimental, is so breathtaking it becomes the perfect landscape for inspiration of any kind. My daughter got a great idea landscaping idea for one of her suburban customer’s. The history alone is surreal. Zion national park was at just about sea-level approximately 240 million years ago. Over time, layers of mud, rocks and sand deposited quite a few layers and the weight caused the accumulations to sink so that new layers remained at about sea level.

It was not long after that visit that I looked up Cedar City real estate on the internet and found a home there. Of course, I don’t like to bring my toddlers to National Parks all the time. So, I checked out Cedar City parks in town and was relieved to find that there were some great local parks that cater to kids. There is the Bicentennial Park with volley ball playground equipment, covered picnic areas and even barbecue pits! Then there is the Main Street Park. This park is great for nights because it has lighting and electrical outlets. Coal Creek Trail is paved and is an excellent place for bikes and Rollerblades. The East Canyon Park is one of our favorites because we love horseshoe pits.
