Cedar Breaks National Monument Road To Open May 15...Weather Allowing

Snowplowing on Utah 148 near Cedar Breaks National Monument/NPS

Getting to Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah by driving can be a challenge most of the year. While Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef national parks are all accessible for the spring and summer seasons, winter has kept a stranglehold on the route to Cedar Breaks. That should change by May 15...barring another snowstorm, of course.

Park staff are estimating that the Utah 148 will be cleared of snow and open to vehicles by May 15 (depending on weather conditions.) Follow @CedarBreaksNationalMonument on Facebook or check our current conditions page at www.nps.gov/cebr/ for up-to date information.

Visitor services, such as restrooms and the Information Center will not be available until May 25. The Alpine Pond, Spectra Point and Ramparts trails are currently closed due to excessive snowdrifts, fallen trees, and to protect park resources from damage. Park overlooks, including Sunset Overlook, and campground trails are open, but have snow and mud in some areas. The Point Supreme Campground is scheduled to open in early June.

Cedar Break National Monument would also like to remind the public that heavy vehicles will be prohibited from using Utah 148. A heavy vehicle is defined as any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 26,000 pounds. Road signs outlining the weight restriction are posted on all routes leading to the monument to remind trucks and other heavy vehicles to use alternate routes.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
