We've recently had plenty of rain in southern Nevada and along the California border. Here is the current DVNP road report...

CA Highway 190 is open
SR 374 to Beatty is open
Dante's View Road is open (some debris on road)
Emigrant Canyon Road is open
All other Death Valley Roads are closed.
NV Highway 95 is closed from Beatty in both directions. No access to Las Vegas.
Stateline Road/Bell Vista Road to Pahrump is closed
127 between Shoshone and Death Valley Junction is closed.
There is no way to enter Death Valley from Las Vegas/Pahrump from the east.

Access to the park is open via Ridgecrest/Trona via 178/Trona-Wildrose Road or via CA 395 to 190.

I'm glad I was able to do my "bucket list" cross country trip than included Death Valley and old route 66 in California in 2014.

Those are two big items on my list what would be washed out, pardon the pun.

Thanks posting. We head to Pahrump for touring Death Valley in 3 weeks. I'll need to see what is and isn't open at the time.
