A Few Bad Apples Spoil the Fun Ibex Dunes in Death Valley National Park is a refuge of natural quiet; a dramatic contrast to the wild fun of Dumont Dunes, the popular Off-Highway Vehicle area on nearby BLM lands. Unfortunately, a few “bad apples” are flaunting the law and giving a bad reputation to all of the law-abiding off-road enthusiasts. Although vehicles must stay on established roads in the Park, there are an increasing number of trespass drivers ignoring the protection that wilderness and national park status provides places like the delicate Ibex Dunes. Your tax-payer dollars have to be spent enforcing rules and repairing the damage caused by a few irresponsible riders. We appreciate all of you who value what National Parks have to offer and do your part to protect them, allowing OHV areas and national parks to successfully exist side by side. (avv) Here’s the rules on roads and vehicle use in Death Valley National Park: - All vehicles must remain on established roads. This includes motorcycles, bicycles, and four-wheel-drive vehicles. - All motorized vehicles and drivers must be properly licensed. - Operating a motor vehicle in a manner that causes unreasonable damage to the surface of a park road or route is prohibited. - Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV) are prohibited from operating inside park boundaries. - Vehicles with off-road registration may not be operated in the park.
