The following press releases was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management on July 8, 2020. It is reproduced in full below.

Improvements to the Bureau of Land Management’s Red Cliffs Recreation Area road will require the temporary closure of the campground and day use areas to protect public safety. The Recreation Area is located in the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, in Washington County, Utah.

The temporary closure will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, with the campground and day use areas expected to reopen by July 24. The White Reef Trailhead and adjacent trails will remain open during the temporary closure, although the road work may require that public access to the trailhead be restricted for a few hours. Due to the nature of the work, the BLM cannot identify the specific day when the road work will affect the trailhead.

The Public Lands Information Center, 435-688-3200, will be able to provide updates on the temporary closure of the Red Cliffs Recreation Area and offer suggestions about alternative trails and other outdoor recreation opportunities on public lands in the area.
