To the best of my knowledge and research, here are the roads/canyons that
have been closed in Death Valley and vicinity as part of the new wilderness
areas under the 1994 Desert Protection Act:
Greenwater Canyon
South Park Canyon
Hole in the Wall Canyon (at the old Monument boundary)
Sheep Canyon (Telephone Canyon area)
Confidence Wash/Hole in the Wall Cabin (American Mine area)
Tucki Mine (vicinity)
Schwaub Townsite (off Echo Canyon)
Lemoign Canyon (just as you enter the canyon)
Marble Canyon (at the "narrows")
Jail Canyon (where it joins Hall Canyon)
Skidoo Area (except for the townsite area itself)
Hall Canyon
Ibex Springs
Buckwheat Wash
Saddle Peak Hills
Quail Springs
Pleasant/South Park Canyon Loop
If anyone has more updated info, please pass it along to me.
Again, the only recourse we have is to write letters and let folks know we
want roads left open.
