Five months after remnants of Hurricane Hilary pounded Death Valley National Park, some areas are still closed by storm damage, but visitors who have headed to the park are enjoying their time there.
Death Valley National Park reopened the Beatty Cutoff Road and Mesquite Spring Campground on Friday. These are the latest steps in the park’s recovery from massive flash floods caused by the remnants of Hurricane Hilary in August.
Four months after torrential storms spawned flash floods that undercut roads in Death Valley National Park, additional access to 95 miles of roads opened Saturday.
There is no date for reopening storm-battered Death Valley National Park, and it might take until December to fully repair all the damage to roads done by the remnants of Hurricane Hilary last month.
