Death Valley CLOSED: Fall/Winter 23/24 Trip Planning

[Beardilocks]

There has been zero updates or condition reports from NPS (or anyone else) on the Southern part of the park. Interesting because they've listed detailed reports on a lot of parts of the park, but have not mentioned even Harry Wade (which is likely destroyed). It is all listed as closed on their map, but with Jubilee Pass and 127 closed, there's no way in right now anyway. I'm quite sure that the road is already perfectly graded and beautiful from 127 to the Leach Lake gate for the military.

They have listed early Dec as the estimated opening of 178. Caltrans has listed estimated date to rebuild 127.

I'll give you a shout if I'm around about that time. Heading Westward again in a few days after way too much time in the East.
