The Long View Of Death Valley
From 6300' up on Aguereberry Point in Death Valley is a pretty great view looking South down the length of the park. Badwater Basin and more spreads far, far away.

NPS:
"....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. The narrow, unpaved road is restricted to vehicles shorter than 25 feet. Also known as Trona-Wildrose Road, it provides access to high-elevation areas of Death Valley National Park.
In August 2023, the remnants of Hurricane Hilary triggered flash floods that damaged most roads in the park. The storm destroyed much of the asphalt on Lower Wildrose Road and carved a 9‑foot‑deep drop across the roadway.

By Denise ChowExcerpt: " 'You can think of it like drought evasion,' said Erik Rakestraw, a curator of botany at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson. 'In their seed form, it’s like they’re not even existing. They’re just laying in the soil.'
"In the proper conditions, the seeds will germinate. Then, after the flowers are pollinated, they’ll turn back to seeds and the cycle will begin again."

LOL this could very well trap people in Death Valley, unless they filled up with gas this evening. Or end up with people stranded on the side of the road. (I nearly did this, myself, due to a dust storm shutting down the pumps in that case).

Looks like it's not easy to get to Scotty's Castle in Death Valley National Park right now (though, I believe it's still closed due to flood damage from the last few years). Taking Racetrack Valley Road is its own adventure (4wd... high clearance).
