North Highway, Artists Drive and other roads reopen in Death Valley National Park
DEATH VALLEY, Calif. – The National Park Service reopened several flood-damaged roads in Death Valley National Park in recent days. An upcoming storm may cause new road closures.
These roads reopened within the past two weeks:
- North Highway
- Ubehebe Crater Road
- Cottonwood Canyon Road
- Marble Canyon Road
- Artists Drive
- Twenty Mule Team Canyon Road
Flash floods in August, September, and November deposited piles of rocks on roads and scoured away shoulders. National Park Service employees from several other parks assisted Death Valley National Park’s road crew.
Several Death Valley National Park roads remain closed. Significant rainfall is predicted on December 24 and 25, which could cause new flood damage. Road status is available at nps.gov/deva.
Death Valley National Park is the homeland of the Timbisha Shoshone and preserves natural resources, cultural resources, exceptional wilderness, scenery, and learning experiences within the nation’s largest conserved desert landscape and some of the most extreme climate and topographic conditions on the planet.
