Cedar City to Duck Creek: Highway 14 driving basics
Duck Creek Village is typically reached by Highway 14 from Cedar City. It is a beautiful approach, but it is still a mountain road: winter weather, shoulder-season storms, and fast temperature swings can change driving conditions quickly.

Best times to recheck the drive
- Before leaving Cedar City or lower elevation
- Before any night arrival back to Duck Creek
- Before park days that depend on Highway 14 or US-89 connections
- After any storm cell, snow burst, or sudden temperature drop
What changes the road most
Snow and ice matter in winter, but shoulder-season visibility, afternoon storms, and cold nighttime temperatures can be just as important. If the cameras look more uncertain than the valley forecast suggests, trust what the mountain is showing you.
Winter driving reminders
- Check UDOT and weather before leaving
- Carry chains and know how to use them
- Allow extra daylight for the climb
- Pack water, a charger, warm layers, and a basic emergency kit

Highway 14 questions we answer most
We run the inn at Duck Creek year-round, so these are the road questions guests actually call about.
Is Highway 14 open right now?
SR-14 is a year-round, plowed state highway and is rarely closed, but winter storms can bring temporary closures or traction requirements. The UDOT cameras above refresh every minute; for official closure and chain-law alerts, check the UDOT traffic map right before you drive.
Do I need 4WD or chains to reach Duck Creek Village?
In summer and early fall, any car makes the drive comfortably. During and right after winter storms, AWD/4WD or chains are strongly recommended, and UDOT can temporarily require traction devices on the canyon grades. The road is plowed regularly, so most winter days are routine once a storm passes.
How long is the drive from Cedar City to Duck Creek Village?
About 45 minutes in normal conditions. Highway 14 climbs from roughly 5,800 ft in Cedar City to nearly 10,000 ft at its summit before easing down to Duck Creek Village, so allow extra time at night, in storms, or when towing. Cedar City is also the last full stop for fuel and groceries.
When does Highway 14 get snow?
The first accumulating snow usually arrives in late October or November, and snowpack can linger near the summit into May. In July and August the main thing to plan around is brief afternoon monsoon thunderstorms — mornings are usually the calmest driving window.
What happens if Highway 14 closes through Cedar Canyon?
The standard detour is I-15 north to SR-20, east to US-89, then south to Long Valley Junction, where SR-14 reaches Duck Creek Village from the east. Plan on roughly two hours from Cedar City instead of 45 minutes. That eastern approach is also the gentler drive in marginal weather.
What are the road conditions from Cedar City to Duck Creek right now?
That is exactly what this page is for. The cameras at the top run in milepost order from the bottom of Cedar Canyon up to the Duck Creek Village turnoff, so scanning them top to bottom is like driving the road. Pair them with the UDOT alert strip for any closure or chain requirement, and if you are still unsure, call us — we can see the road from the inn.
Is there snow on Highway 14 right now?
The cameras above show the actual pavement, which beats any forecast. For measured snow depth, our Duck Creek snow report pulls live readings from two SNOTEL stations bracketing the village. SR-14 is plowed year-round, so even after big storms the road usually reopens to routine driving within a day.
When in doubt, call us. We can tell you what conditions look like at the inn and help you decide whether a later arrival, extra layers, or a different day-trip plan makes more sense.
