Natural History Wanderings

State Route 190 will remain closed through at least August 17 as Caltrans maintenance crews continue to clean up after last week’s flash floods. Drivers are urged to stay clear of the highway and respect closure points that allow crews to safely work within the incident area.

There are no current open entrances to the park, regardless of what some navigation systems may say. Check our webpage (nps.gov.deva) for most current conditions.

All park roads remain closed as damage assessments, crucial repairs, and flood recovery work are underway.

Conditions are subject to change as the Death Valley area is expecting a chance of additional thunderstorms this week. Always check weather and conditions prior to leaving: https://www.nps.gov/deva/planyourvisit/conditions.htm
