All dirt roads are now open. Thank you to our roads crew for working so hard to repair the roads from the heavy rains last week. Though all roads are now open, remember that some require high clearance and 4WD.

Geology Tour Road and Desert Queen Mine road are now both open. Keys Ranch road will likely open tomorrow. Big Horn Pass will likely open on Wednesday. Currently Closed Roads: O'Dell Road Queen Valley Road Big Horn Pass Road Keys Ranch Road

Multiple agencies are involved: San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department (deputies, detectives, volunteers, & emergency services), CA Rescue Dog Association (CARDA), Nevada SAR, and NPS with personnel from four nearby parks & the Investigative Services Branch

Since Friday, July 13th, park staff have coordinated an extensive search including teams doing technical, ground, helicopter, K-9, & tracking searches. To date, the search has included 20 K-9 units and over 600 searchers putting in more than 6000 hours.

High temperatures continue to hinder search efforts. Rescuers have been commencing operations at 4 a.m. to avoid triple digit temperatures.

Rescuers are now concentrating on more remote sections of the greater Fortynine Palms Oasis area. Due to steep ravines & cliffs, technical specialists with high-angle rescue skills are being used to complete grid searches in the northern section of the 794,000-acre park.

Staff & volunteers continue to search for missing hiker, Paul Miller. Over a month has passed since Miller, 51, was last seen on July 13th when he departed his hotel with the intention of hiking Fortynine Palms Oasis.
