The main gate into Burning Man was closed Monday due to too much rain according to the festival's main Twitter account.
Consistent rain has shut down the main entrance to the festival with law enforcement officials turning cars around.
"BRC is closed until midday Tuesday due to rain and standing water. Playa is un-drivable," posted @BManTraffic, the festival's Twitter account dedicated to getting participants in and out of the festival area safely.
Burners in the area can get hourly traffic reports on BMIR 94.5 at the top of the hour.
Tens of thousands of people were expected to descend on the desert north of Reno for the festival scheduled to begin Monday and run through September 1.
