For Adventure Travel Wilderness Recreational Hiking in Utah’s High Desert Cedar Breaks to Open Soon.

What About The Road Closure?
Due to the high elevation, the Cedar Breaks Scenic Drive (Highway 148) is now closed for the winter from Highway 14 to Highway 143. All visitor facilities are closed for the season. The Scenic Drive and Visitor Center are expected to re-open for the season by May 27, 2006. The park remains open to cross-country skiers, snowshoeing, and snowmobiles. Snowmobiles must remain on the marked route over the unplowed roads through the park and are prohibited in meadows.

From early June to mid-October, the visitor center is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.. All visitor facilities are CLOSED from mid-October through late May. The Cedar Breaks Scenic Drive remains open to vehicular traffic until snow and heavy drifting occur, normally anywhere from late October to early December. Please call 435-586-9451 to check the status of the road before traveling to Cedar Breaks during this time. Winter recreational activities begin once there is sufficient snow depth for cross-country ski, snowshoe, and snowmobile trails.
