Example of a Trail Update for a Route

Date:
4/25/2021

Current Status: Open with some issues

Additional Details: Recent rains have caused the river levels to rise substantially. Buffalo River is approximately 3' deep. Lifted vehicles with larger tires (33" +) may find it difficult and/or dangerous to cross Buffalo River. There's another crossing that's about 30" deep 1/2 mile north of the main crossing. We recommend checking water levels first, but this is typically the alternative crossing point. Aside from water levels, the rest of the trail is running fantastic!

Many trails remained closed following numerous storms that battered DVNP in 2023, many of which are critical links for completing the Death Valley Adventure Route.

As of January 2024, some of the impacted trails include:
  • Titus Canyon
  • Steel Pass
  • Saline Valley Road
