Concessions
Solicitation for proposals

Stovepipe Wells Village is part of a long and varied history of businesses operating within the park and is the only hotel operating as a concession under a contract with the National Park Service, which owns the land and facilities. The Oasis at Death Valley and Panamint Springs Resort, though located within the boundaries of the Park, are on privately-owned land and facilities.

Record-tying 130F in August

Per the climate data in xmACIS2, this is the first time since 1913 that Death Valley has reached 130F. In July 2013, it last reached 129F. If valid, it would be the hottest August temperature at the site by 3F. @NWSVegas pic.twitter.com/gZNBW4NXI4
