Scotty’s Castle will require millions of dollars in repairs for flood damage, a Death Valley National Park spokeswoman said Saturday.
“I’d say $10 million is a conservative estimate, $20 million is a conservative estimate,” said spokeswoman Abby Wines.
Fortunately, the main building and attraction, the castle itself, suffered only minor water damage from a small leak in the roof, according to spokeswoman Linda Slater. The rest of the damage could take up to six months to repair.
Part of the road leading to Scotty’s Castle was washed away and covered in debris. Roads were secure enough for four-wheel-drive vehicles to make it to the castle Saturday.
