UNPAVED/BACKCOUNTRY ROADS
CAUTION
Harry Wade Road has deep sand on the north end near mile 6.

CLOSED
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). Likely to remain closed until Summer 2026. Hikers can park on the shoulder of CA-190 and walk in.
Salt Creek - Flooding destroyed the boardwalk, restroom and parking area. Currently under construction. Closed to all access including pedestrians. Will not open before July 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 2.8 miles due to water.
