Death Valley National Park News Release Lower Wildrose Road Reopens Caution Advised on Narrow Unpaved Road For Immediate Release: June 3, 2026 Contact: DEVA_News@nps.gov NPS photo Superintendent Mike Reynolds demonstrates the scale of damage to Lower Wildrose Road after the remnants of Hurricane Hilary caused flash flooding in August 2023.   DEATH VALLEY, Calif. - The National Park Service (NPS) has reopened Lower Wildrose Road, which has been closed for nearly three years due to extensive flood damage.
