The full drive picture from Duck Creek Village
Getting to Cedar Breaks from the inn means UT-14 first, then UT-148 — and in the shoulder seasons each can be in a different mood. This page covers the monument itself; pair it with our Highway 14 conditions page (live UDOT cams) for the plateau drive, and the snow report to see what is actually on the ground up here. No other single site chains all three.
Once the road is open, plan the visit with our Cedar Breaks guide — overlooks, the Alpine Pond Trail, and sunset & stargazing.

Where this data comes from
Everything in the live sections above comes straight from the National Park Service Data API — the same feed behind nps.gov — rendered unedited with a timestamp. The page refreshes at least every 15 minutes, and alerts are re-checked on every visit. We run the inn 30 minutes down UT-14 and watch this road open and close every year.
Planning questions
Is the road through Cedar Breaks open right now?
SR-148 through the monument typically opens in late May and closes with the first heavy snow in mid-to-late October. The live answer at the top of this page reflects the park’s current posted season, and any closure alert appears in the live list above. In winter the monument stays open for snowmobiles and skis from the north side.
When does Cedar Breaks open for the season?
Snow decides. The park posts a target of late May, but in heavy snow years plowing pushes into June. The NPS announces the actual opening date in the park news — which appears in the "Latest from the park" section above when it lands.
How far is Cedar Breaks from Duck Creek Village?
About 30 minutes: west on UT-14 along the plateau, then north on UT-148. It is the closest of the three parks to the inn — many guests catch sunset at Point Supreme and are back in the hot tub an hour later.
What dark-sky events does Cedar Breaks run?
Cedar Breaks is an International Dark Sky Park and runs night sky tours through the summer, plus the Southwest Astronomy Festival in September. Upcoming dates are listed live in the ranger programs section above.
