(Also posted this over in the Sport Touring / Crusing Thread.)
FYI... If you're going to be down there during the Holidays a few of the roads are closed. I was checking road conditions in DV as I'll be down in that area later in the month,
was planning on doing Titus Canyon but it's one of the closed roads. :-(
Here's the list:
Note that road closures listed below apply to ALL motorized vehicles, including motorcycles.The roads were completely washed out in places and entry will cause tire tracks and braided roads in wilderness as users try to locate what was once the road. Thank you for your patience as we work to reopen these locations. Bicycles are permitted except on Titus Canyon Rd.
Only major roads are listed for reference below:

Only major roads are listed for reference below:
- Northern entrance of West Side Road - Due to a deep cut in the road. No estimated reopening date.
- Lower Wildrose Road (aka Trona - Wildrose Road, connects Wildrose to Panamint Valley)- completely impassable due to a 9-foot deep cut across the road. Likely to remain closed until Summer 2026.
- Darwin Falls - Road is completely gone in many places. It will need either extensive import of road fill (expensive) or "mining" of gravel from the nearby wash (this would require thorough environmental review). No estimated time of reopening. Hikers can park on the shoulder of CA-190 and walk in.
- Salt Creek - Flooding destroyed the boardwalk, restroom and parking area. Will not open before June 2025.
- Titus Canyon Road - Due to flood damage. Bicycle use is prohibited in Titus Canyon for safety reasons. Impassable. Not likely to open before 2026. Lower Titus Canyon to the Fall Canyon Trailhead is open.
- Cottonwood Canyon Road- Closed final 1.6 miles due to water.
