Unfortunately someone drove on the Racetrack Playa a few weeks ago. The vehicle drove up and down several times, leaving miles of tracks. Driving and bicycling off road are not permitted in Death Valley National Park.
The pink line is a GPS record of the vehicle tracks done recently on the Racetrack. The vehicle drove up and back several times. If you’ve been out there, you know most of the moving rocks are in the southeast part of the playa. Fortunately, this vehicle didn’t drive there.

I sure hope the mental moron’s are caught!!! It’s hard to comprehend these person’s stupidity!!
I have enjoyed DVNP my entire life, it’s beyond spectacular. Unfortunately, sometimes, there’s a turd in the punchbowl as demonstrated on the Race Track.
Thank you DVNP personal for protecting this irreplaceable joy!

NPS must make sure nobody does it again. It is impossible to prevent idiots from doing stupid things, they ignore signs, regulations and have no common sense or respect for others. There must be some kind of barrier such as trench or fence. Sure it would cost money but will save Racetrack for all of us who want to see it as it was for thousands of years.
