Road Conditions

The Condor Viewing Site is located along the House Rock Valley Road (BLM 1065 in Arizona and BLM 700 in Utah). This road is unpaved and minimally maintained. Most of the time, two-wheel-drive, high-clearance vehicles can travel the road. However, four-wheel-drive, high-clearance vehicles may be required when the road is wet. During periods of rain and the winter months the road may become impassable for all vehicles, even those with four-wheel-drive.
