Another significant section of Death Valley National Park will reopen just in time for the vacations. According to park officials, 95 miles of park roads will reopen on Saturday, December 23, after crews total more repairs.
The park entirely shut down for 4 months again as the remains of Hurricane Hilary tore through Southern California and brought extensive flooding. The water damaged numerous roads and rinsed others altogether.
Teams and volunteers from other parks got to work right away on repair work. The park reopened to the general public on October 15, however numerous parts of Death Valley stay off limitations due to the damage.
Roads that are reopening consist of:
- North Highway
- Ubehebe Crater Roadway
- Old Stovepipe Well Roadway
- Lower end of Titus Canyon Roadway
- Racetrack Roadway
- Lippincott Roadway
- Hidden Valley Roadway
- Lost Burro Mine Roadway
- White Top Mountain Road
Visitors should understand some roads in the park are thought about off-road and require high clearance. In spite of all of this resuming, parts of the park remain closed, and visitors must avoid those locations. Last month, two motorcyclists passed a closed-road sign and required a helicopter to rescue them.
The procedure of resuming has actually been a long one, but officials state they’re happy with the efforts, and thankfully, visitors can still experience among the best times of the year in Death Valley.
“The treking in December and January is outstanding,” says Park Superintendent Mike Reynolds. “Contributed to that, there’s a short-term lake at Badwater and some wildflowers are out.”
