Surviving a Death Valley Flash Flood: Death Valley National Park, California

Byadmin

Flash floods are no joke. I know this, and so does pretty much everyone who doesn’t live under a rock. Flash flood watches and warnings are nothing to mess with, especially out in the desert. I’ve been meaning to write this blog post for a while — it’s one of the worst travel experiences I’ve had and I hope others can learn something from this. Summer is flash flood season in Death Valley, and being that summer is now upon us, it’s a good time to write this post.

If you want to say you’ve seen Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, check it off your list, and say, “Fuck it, let’s get the hell out of here and go to the real mountains,” I say, more power to you.

Christine Falls is located roughly 6 miles from the Longmire area, along the road to Paradise. This waterfall is located off of a roadside pullout and requires a very short walk to the overlook. This is a very busy pullout and you may need to wait for a parking spot to open up. If you’re entering Mt. Rainier National Park from the Nisqually entrance, Christine Falls viewpoint will likely be one of your first stops in the park, save for Longmire.
