Death Valley CLOSED: Fall/Winter 23/24 Trip Planning
#56
Echo Canyon Road - NPS road crew used a dozer to do the first pass for repairs. We still need to re-establish the permitted roadside campsites and run a grader down the road before opening. Likely to open by late November.

Hole in the Wall Road - NPS road crew used a dozer to do the first pass for repairs. We still need to get re-establish the permitted roadside campsites and run a grader down the road before opening. Likely to open by late November.

Cottonwood Canyon & Marble Canyon Roads - NPS road crew used a dozer to do the first pass for repairs. We still need to get re-establish the permited roadside campsites and run a grader down the road before opening. Likely to open by early November.

North Highway - this will open sometime after February 2024. Work will be done by the permanent repairs contract.(Access to: Fall Canyon Trail, Old Stovepipe Wells, Lower Titus Canyon, Ubehebe Crater, Racetrack Road)

Daylight Pass Road & Mud Canyon Road- contractors will start by making temporary repairs. The road will likely reopen by mid-November, but will have gravel sections and a lowered speed limit. Then a second contract will be awarded to do permanent pavement replacement, which may include adding protection from future floods. That contract is likely to start in February or March 2024.
