Many roads in Joshua Tree National Park that closed for safety reasons after a snow storm hit the area December 26, have reopened. Roads that have reopened are: Big Horn, Odelle, Queen Valley, and Lost Horse Mine. Geology Tour Road remains closed. Black Eagle Mine Road is closed long-term. Campgrounds are all open but roads into these areas could still be a bit bumpy. Drive slowly.
Please use caution when driving in the park. Winter is an unpredictable time of year with temperatures ranging from below freezing into the high 70’s. Always check the weather forecast before a visit and let someone know where you will be traveling.
