Verify the legal motor-vehicle route, parking, road condition, fire orders, and enough water to return if the road becomes unusable. Kiavah has no published recurring closure season, but the exposed desert corridor is often dangerously hot from late spring through early fall. Winter storms, flash floods, wildfire, and washouts can affect Bird Spring Pass road.

Before driving

Check Sequoia National Forest alerts, Red Rock Canyon weather, fire restrictions, and Bird Spring road condition. Carry the full water supply and avoid the route during dangerous heat or wind.
