Nevada 267?

Is 267 in Nevada open now down into Death Valley? Heading down there in a week.
  • Be sure to spend a night in Bishop in the RV park behind Schatt's Bakery. Breakfast there is a treat not to be missed. If you have time to go a little farther South on 395, Manzanar is a place all should visit once.
  • Per the Death Valley NP website...

    Scotty's Castle CLOSED until fall 2021.
    Flooding in Grapevine Canyon from a severe thunderstorm has destroyed the road to Scotty's Castle, damaged infrastructure and some out-buildings in the Castle complex.

  • We are headed to Death Valley in a week or so. Going down US395 CA 136/190 into valley, leaving via CA 373.
    All routing subject to change!
  • I just came from there. Some of the roads are still in bad shape after the heavy winters the few previous years. Saline Valley was rough.

    Looks to still be closed, this is from the Death Valley park site:

    Scotty's Castle is CLOSED until further notice due to flood damage, and is not likely to re-open to the public until 2020. All entry to Grapevine Canyon and Scotty's Castle district is currently prohibited.
