Utah's High Roads Will Be Open For Memorial Day Weekend
Our seasonal high mountain roads are
opening earlier than normal - many are open now and most others will
be open for Memorial Day Weekend. Most of our forest campgrounds will
also be open.
Utah Hwy 14 will be open on a limited
basis for the holiday weekend. It is a major highway and is usually
open year-round, but it has been closed for several months while
crews repair damage caused by a massive landslide.
A dirt road has been built across the
slide area and it will be open from 3 p.m. on Thursday, May 24, until
7 a.m. on Tuesday, May 29. After that the dirt road will be closed
during the day on weekdays, so crews can continue working to make
permanent repairs. During the construction period the dirt section
will be open 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Mondays through Thursdays. It will
be open to motorists on weekends beginning on Fridays at 5 p.m.
Hwy 14 provides access to Duck Creek
Village and other popular areas on Cedar Mountain.
Visitor facilities at Cedar BreaksNational Monument will be open beginning Memorial Day weekend.
In northern Utah, Hwy 150, the Mirror Lake Highway,
is already open. Campgrounds along the highway are opening quickly
now and most will be available for the holiday.
SR 35 is open over Wolf Creek Pass.
SR 39 is open over Monte Cristo.
SR 92, the Alpine Loop, is expected to
open for Memorial Day Weekend.
SR 224 and SR 190 are open over
Guardsman Pass.
Always check locally for current
conditions when venturing into the high country.
