July 2008 - Our Internet hosting service has switched our website over to another server which took our website down for a few weeks.  It is now back up.  Sorry for any inconvenience.

News about the Death Valley Guide

2007 - Latest Entrance Fee  - The guide currently reports the entrance fee to Death Valley as $10 per vehicle.  As of 2007, the fee is now $20 per vehicle for 7 days.  Please check the Fees & Reservations page on the http://www.nps.gov/deva website for the latest information including other fees.

2008 - Mosaic Canyon Boulder Jam  - As you enter the 2nd narrows, a large boulder has fallen to the bottom of the canyon making it difficult to continue up-canyon to see the additional cascades and dry waterfall.  Smaller people can find a path under the boulder on the left side.  There is also a fairly difficult route around and over the boulder on the right side.  Since this is such a popular hike in the park, in due time a safer and easier route will be carved around the fallen boulder.
