Death Valley National Park will reopen Sunday after being closed for eight weeks by damage from Hurricane Hilary.
Death Valley National Park, which was ravaged by summer storms that washed out roads and trails, will partially reopen Sunday and allow visitors to see a large temporary lake. The popular desert park and State Route 190 have been fully closed since Aug. 20 because of extensive flash flood damage caused by the remnants of Hurricane Hilary. It was the longest closure in Death Valley National Park’s history, Supt. Mike Reynolds said.
State Route 190 will have one-hour delays because of an extensive section of one-lane traffic control between Panamint Springs and Father Crowley Vista. Several other places will have delays of up to 20 minutes for traffic control. The open roads will be Badwater Road from State Route 190 to Badwater Basin, Dantes View Road, Twenty Mule Team Canyon Road, Artists Drive, Natural Bridge Road, Mustard Canyon and Mosaic Canyon Road. All other roads will remain closed.
