Lower Wildrose Road Reopens After Flood

Death Valley’s Lower Wildrose Road is finally back open after three years of repairs following catastrophic August 2023 flooding from Hurricane Hilary, which carved out nine-foot drops and severed access to key park sights. Now passable but narrow and unpaved, it’s only for vehicles under 25 feet—proof that even desert landscapes can be reshaped by nature’s fury. While this reopening brings relief, other storm-damaged roads remain closed, and park crews continue rebuilding. For now, it’s a cautious return to adventure—until more trails reopen.
