*To assist in planning a visit, please note the following restrictions:
Due to steepness of roads and tightness of switchbacks, no vehicles over 30 feet in length are allowed on Red Sleep Mountain Drive. They may access the shorter West Loops and Prairie Drives. No trailers of any kind may access Red Sleep Mountain Drive. These trailers may be left at the Visitor Center Parking Lot. And to protect the health of Range wildlife, no livestock trailers are allowed on the Refuge.
Also, because all scenic roads are gravel, motorcycles and bicycles are not allowed. They can access the Visitor Center and Day Use areas along paved roads.
The Refuge closes to all public use at night. Check hours posted at the Front Gate and at the Visitor Center. Please plan your visit accordingly to be off Refuge by the time the Front Gate closes for the evening.
*Also please note – scenic roads can close at anytime due to extreme weather and hazardous road conditions.
