This weekend, Death Valley opened access to more areas of the park, and staff welcomed visitors back. Unfortunately, not all our visitors chose to #RecreateResponsibly, and Park Law Enforcement Rangers had to respond to numerous incidents. This weekend alone there were over 8 miles of new off-road driving scars added to the park, stuck vehicles, drug use, a DUI, and a strenuous search and rescue in 120 degree heat.

With extreme summer heat, incidents like this not only can cause damage to the park, but also risk the lives of visitors and park first responders through increased exposure to the furnace-like conditions of the valley floor in summer.

While considering a trip to Death Valley, please plan ahead for current conditions, avoid areas with extreme heat warnings, and follow park regulations -- they are in place to protect you, the experience of your fellow visitors, and this incredible park!
