Titus Canyon

Trail Overview

Difficulty

Easy: A well-maintained gravel road, but steep and narrow in a few places. Four-wheel drive seldom necessary under dry conditions. Road is closed when rain is expected due to extreme flash flood danger through the narrow canyon.

History

The town of Leadfield never delivered on its promise of rich lead claims and lasted less than a year despite getting a post office in 1926. The canyon is named after mining engineer Morris Titus, who died prospecting the canyon.
