This is hwy 89 A about 7 miles to the west of Cliff Dwellers Lodge & Restaurant. The entire section road is closed until they can clear these boulders off the highway. When we were driving I had to pull off the road because there was zero visibility and 70 mile an hour winds. This happened shortly after we passed through.

The Paria flashed big on Saturday, so if accessing the T/H from the north on House Rock Valley Road ( aka Wire Pass Road), the Buckskin crossing is the crux, and routinely washes out- likely much less chance of encountering a washout coming up from the south.
Call Steve or Susan at (928) 691-1047 - they are out there every day - they'll know.

The temporary openings will occur once per hour between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. until the work is completed.
