About 820,000 people visited Death Valley National Park in 2020. This was about half the number of people that visited the park the previous year.
As the weather started to cool down, Americans resumed traveling to Death Valley. 67,000 people visited in October, down 52% from the previous year. As temperatures cooled even more, November 2020 was a tie for the park’s busiest November, with 132,000 visits.
Campgrounds and lodging in the park closed on December 7 in response to California’s Regional Stay-at-Home Orders. In spite of the lack of overnight accommodations, 94,000 people visited in December, which was the park’s third-busiest December.
2021: The Regional Stay-at-Home Orders were in effect until late January, yet visitation remained high, with 80,000 visits.

Most Counties to Remain in Most Restrictive Tier of the State’s Blueprint
As California begins to see the recent surge in COVID-19 infections recede, the state is lifting some of the most stringent restrictions on economic and social activities. On Monday, January 25, 2021, Governor Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced that the state would be lifting the regional Stay-at-Home Orders put in place on December 3, 2020, to slow the spread of COVID-19. The orders applied to regions where ICU bed availability was severely limited. The Sacramento region had previously seen its regional order lifted on January 12, 2021, and the Northern California region never had an order imposed, as ICU capacity there remained above the 15% threshold. According to projections released today by CDPH, all five regions of the state are now above 15%, with a statewide average capacity of 30.3%.
