State Route 148, which passes through Cedar Breaks National Monument, has begun its routine seasonal winter closure due to snowpack. This closure is a regular occurrence every winter when the snow levels make the road impassable for traditional vehicles.
With the closure of the route, snowmobile enthusiasts can now access the area. The National Park Service has permitted the use of snowmobiles on a designated and marked route that follows the same path as the roadway. This provides an opportunity for visitors to explore the park in a different way during the winter months.
Cedar Breaks National Monument, known for its spectacular geologic amphitheater, is a popular destination year-round. Despite the road closure, the park remains open and accessible to visitors, offering a unique winter experience. The full details of the closure and snowmobile access can be found on the National Park Service’s website.
