Trail Overview

Titus Canyon is a scenic one way dirt road from East to West, doable in any stock SUV. In just 26 easy miles you will drive through mountains, a ghost town, along petroglyphs and through the Narrows before being dumped into Death Valley itself. While not a challenging trail, it is one of the most beautiful drives in CA with the last 1.5 miles through a one vehicle wide canyon (with lots of shade) as the true highlight.
