Current Road Conditions: June 26, 2025

Summer monsoons are here! All roads are currently open but the condition of many spur roads within the Refuge is unknown after the early June storms. Visitors should expect and prepare for rough road conditions. Travel with a safety plan and bring enough supplies and gas to turn around if impassible conditions are found. For your safety and the safety of rescue personnel, please respect all closed signs and notices. Reminder that OHVs are prohibited throughout the Refuge. 

Alamo Road: Open

All spur roads are currently open but road conditions are unknown. High clearance and 4WD is currently required, and visitors are asked to proceed with caution.

Conditions through the dry lakebed on Alamo Road are unknown. This area has very fine dirt which causes hazardous driving conditions when dry, obscuring visibility and hidden road hazards like rock and ruts. When wet, it is very sticky and difficult to drive through without becoming stuck. Cell and radio service are very limited, so stranded vehicles will not be able to call for help. If you choose to travel through this area, please be prepared for emergencies and have the tools and knowledge to conduct a self-rescue.

Mormon Well Road:  OPEN from Corn Creek to Hwy 93 and is in normal condition. Damage from the early June storms has been repaired, and the road is now fully open. High clearance required, 4WD recommended. Condition of Pine Nut Rd is unknown. 

Gass Peak Road: OPEN

Gass Peak Rd and its spur roads are all open, but road conditions are unknown. High clearance and 4WD is currently required, and visitors are asked to proceed with caution.
