Condor Viewing Site
Overview
From a low of 22 condors in 1982, over 200 California condors now live in the wild. The Peregrine Fund, in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), has released condors from Vermilion Cliffs National Monument since 1996. A number of condors roost on top of the Vermilion Cliffs. This site offers visitors a chance to see these enormous endangered birds in the wild. Viewing is best done with binoculars or a spotting scope.
On-site facilities include interpretive panels, a view finder, picnic tables, a shade shelter, and one pit toilet.
