Death Valley National Park Reopening Update
Reopening- October 15th
We are pleased to inform you that the East and West access roads to Death Valley National Park will be open on October 15th. These roads include CA HWY 190 through Lone Pine and Death Valley Junction.
Please Note: The West Entrance from CA HWY 136 to CA HWY 190 (just south of Lone Pine, CA) access from Olancha is unavailable.
For those planning to visit or travel through Death Valley National Park and CA-190 after the reopening please keep in mind the extent of the damage has been considerable: many areas within the park have experienced substantial erosion, leading to undercut pavements and pronounced road drop-offs. It’s essential to approach all routes with caution and heightened awareness.
