Friday night’s storm also caused major road damage in Joshua Tree National Park. Power and internet services are out in many park
buildings and multiple closures are in effect due to severe flood damage. Rangers will be on duty to answer questions, but some visitor services facilities will be closed until power is restored.
All dirt roads in the park are closed. In the Cottonwood area, inbound and outbound roads, the visitor center, and campground are all closed and are anticipated to be closed for several days. Be prepared for muddy roads if traveling on open roads in the park.
The park’s Twitter feed will provide ongoing updates.
