Timelines for repairs of flash flood damage to roads in California’s vast desert wilderness parks are being extended even as monsoonal rains cause new problems along with unseasonal plant and animal activity.
In Death Valley National Park, state highway officials delayed Wednesday's planned reopening of State Route 190 after determining the major road was not ready, a park statement said.
State Route 178, which connects to Death Valley from State Route 127, is expected to remain closed for several more weeks, the park said. The preserve said a July 30 deluge dumped 6 inches of rain in some areas of the park, where average August rainfall is typically 1.2 inches.August is usually characterized by muted landscapes and arid conditions, but now, mild temperatures and vibrant green foliage have led to more wildlife sightings.
