@Mrbfgray Flooding happens with rain at inch levels because it runs off and turns into.a flash flood river. Deserts don't soak into the dirt enough. It completely depends on the type of dirt in that area. Just be careful camping in a old dry lake bed during a rainy evening. I've seen a BLM lakebed turn into a mini lake overnight, stranding people

Sorry for grammar mistakes, I was preoccupied.

You're definitely going to be one of the last visitors to Death Valley for a few months. From what I've read, the park took heavy damage to the infrastructure and roads. The desert itself is fine, since occasional massive rainstorms help shape it over time. I also was slightly tempted to go visit, but my risk aversion is a tad higher! Thanks for doing what sensible people won't, because this footage was amazing.

After a decent winter rainy season wildfllowers that have been dormant for decades appear in the spring. I don't know the effect of a rarer event of a summer storm. 13 years ago a summer downpour from tropical moisture washed out highway 395 west of Death Valley. Had to take kids camping to Kennedy Meadows rather than Mammoth vicinity.

Julian you seem like a very nice young man, and as a no longer so young man I admire your adventures. I did many of the same things as you. Please allow me to pass a few words of wisdom. I’ll try to be brief. This regards a tragedy that I was very close to in the US Army National Training Center which is located in remote, rugged desert terrain to the west of Death Valley. It was the early 1990’s, during summer monsoon season. Yes, there are summer monsoons in the Mojave Desert. I was a member of the Army’s Opposing Forces, stationed there for 2 years. During a routine training exercise afternoon thunderheads came out of nowhere. Lots of thunder, and the sky turned black. The Brigade that we were training at the time had been maneuvering to create a blocking position against one of our Battalions. At that point everyone’s radios sqwacked with the order to CEASE THE EXERCISE AND STAND DOWN. Standard protocol in the face on monsoon weather and potential flash flooding. All vehicles and dismounted soldiers were placed on urgent notice to come out of arroyos (we used the middleast term “wadi’s”) and seek high ground immediately. About the time that the sky opened up a virtual wall of water hit an armored Bradley Fighting Vehicle that was traversing a wadi and had such immense power as to knock it on its side. Panic set in. The vehicle was commanded by the platoon leader, a young second lieutenant. The top hatch was open and crew members began to scramble out. Soon the flood turned into a major debris flow and boulders twice as large as that armored vehicle carried it about 70 meters and overturned it. You see the wadi narrowed and started miles away. The crew were beat up and suffered broken bones and other injuries. The saddest part was the young second lieutenant did not escape. Despite gallant efforts to retrieve and recover the vehicle, he died that day. I remember his name from the letter I wrote for the Brigade Commander to send to his family. If you want you can Google and find it, I’m sure you can because it’s a matter of record, but that’s not why I’m saying this. I’m saying this because it does happen, it’s a force of nature with awesome power. I pray you’ll heed this warning. 😢

It is good that this person was able to make it out of Death Valley National Park. I have been to Death Valley many times, the few rain storms that I have seen last only about half an hour, just long enough to get the ground wet.

If any of the park rangers had caught you tumbling those rocks you would have gotten some huge fines. I’ve spent 6 months in DV as a camp host, and had many conversations with the Rangers there. And the one thing they really don’t negotiate on is ANY destruction of the natural environment/habitat. If you drive off designated roads and trails for example, and they catch you, they MEASURE to the inch how far out AND back you traveled and fine you accordingly. At government rates and speed to recover the damage inflicted.

Such storms are not common, but have been going on fro a long long time. My great grandfather was a prospector in the desert (not Death Valley though). His camp was washed away by a summer flash flood, something like 100 years ago. People need to be more aware of the potential dangers. Foolish folks can come to a very bad end.

Cool video. I liked seeing the area that way. Last time we were there we wanted to do Titus Canyon. Road was closed do to flooding and we lucked out. They reopened it the last day we were there. Glad you didn't get swamped in one of those washes. I don't know about Cali but here in Arizona we have a law. If you get stuck in one of those flooded washes you pay a fine and costs of rescue. It's called the stupid motorists law. Don't hate me. I didn't name it! :)
