Cedar City, UT--- Sun and surf is overrated when it comes to spring break. The snow and natural beauty of scenic Southern Utah has great views and great deals for the next season of fun.

The slopes are only a couple of hours drive from Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, and only 45 minutes from Cedar City. Brian Head’s (http://scenicsouthernutah.com/communities/brianhead.php) warmer weather during the spring still yields ideal but snow coverage. This opens up room for hiking as well as skiing, snowboarding, tubing and other snow sports.

Affordable lodging (http://www.crystalinncedar.com/specials-packages.php?sid=3) in the area offers package deals that include lift tickets so individuals and families can return for some relaxation after a heavy day on the slopes. Rooms are as low as $59 per night and offer locations just feet from the chair lifts and natural areas that surround Iron County.

Southern Utah has an array of national parks that offer breathtaking views and beautiful natural scenes that are just a short drive from larger cities. Bryce Canyon (http://scenicsouthernutah.com/national_parks/bryce_canyon...) and Zion National Parks (http://scenicsouthernutah.com/national_parks/zion.php) are year round wonders that include red rock amphitheaters, unique geology and diverse wildlife. Guests can save some cash by staying right in Cedar City and seeing the sites then spending the day up in the park.

Cedar Breaks (http://scenicsouthernutah.com/national_parks/cedar_breaks...) National Monument is one of the few parks that allow snow mobiles to enter the park for the spectacular view of snow-covered red rocks. Trails that line the monument are perfect for guests who prefer a more traditional way into the area. Nighttime offers pristine skies for stargazing that give full view of the constellations.

Even closed parks offer scenic drives, including the famed Kolob Canyons (http://scenicsouthernutah.com/national_parks/kolob_canyons.php) Road for views at more than 1,000 feet that overlook Navajo sandstone with the sound of water from rushing waterfalls and creeks in the air. Scenic byways connect the national parks for a leisurely drive and spectacular scenery.
