Gathering El Niño Storm along the Amargosa

October 2015

$25.00$1,600.00

I arrived to Death Valley post-call from being in the hospital the night before, when there was already rain in the desert; and here at the Amargosa River crossing along Harry Wade Road, we can see the gathering storm for more precipitation to come. This night I slept primitively in Hanaupah Canyon where I was awakened very late in my tent to thunderbolts and rain—this was the night of October 18, 2015, when 2.75 inches (7 cm) of rain raced violently through Grapevine Canyon further North, severely damaging the historic Scotty’s Castle. A historic night indeed! As of this date in 2024, 9 years later, repairs on the Scotty’s Castle property are still ongoing, the site is still closed. The next morning after the huge El Niño storm presented a multitude of amazing scenes to observe, study, and photograph—of course, also, to marvel over. But the problem was this: it was damn hard to get out of the park! Wow! This was a huge challenge with roads washed out and roads hard to identify their normal passageways.
