Scotty’s Castle in Death Valley has reopened. The park had this to say on facebook, “Scotty’s Castle is now open for tours. Maintenance work will continue, and while facilities are open, gravel remains around the castle and visitor center. This gravel will make the area temporarily inaccessible to visitors in wheelchairs. We apologize for the inconvenience. (cw)”
