titus canyon

走在这条非常狭窄的峡谷里感觉很神秘，两侧的岩石能看出来地球板块激烈的冲撞造成的斑纹和怪石。记者要带足够的水和防晒霜因为这里白天太阳很毒。

This was closed due to pending bad weather so we were excited to drive it -- absolutely beautiful once you get into Titus Canyon! It's also worth the walk-in from the two-way road direction.

It's nice to hike on an actual road. It was very easy walking, even if it was basically all uphill. The canyon is amazing. You can hear the vehicles in plenty of time to get off the road.

We went with Farabees so it was great to be driven. We saw many places on the way there and had a knowledgable and competent driver. He took part of the roof off before we entered the canyon which made the experience much more enjoyable. It was a fantastic afternoon returning at sunset. The distances are so great in Death Valley it was a treat to be driven!

First of all... you need a 4x4 with good ground clearance... not an 'all wheel drive' city car or crossover vehicle. Assuming you have the right vehicle, get ready to experience an amazing journey into the most dramatic terrain you will find in Death Valley National Park! There aren't many places to pull over so give your picture-taking responsibilities to your co-pilot! There is much to see along the way. Keep in mind the road is one-way, so if you pass something photo-worthy pause to take some pix... you won't have an opportunity to take photos of that scene on your way back to your hotel.

Exciting drive, entering from Beatty, NV. Need a high clearance 4wd vehicle, steep climbs, descents and sharp turns — not for the faint of heart

If you love the desert, if you are awed by geological formations, if you are not afraid of a few narrow places and a few tight turns on a one way road..... this is the drive for you. I wouldn't have any problem doing this drive with vehicle with only slightly higher ground clearance than the typical cross-over. Heck, I could do this drive in a sedan, but not a sports car. There are a few tight turns and a couple narrow areas where you're only a couple feet from the edge of a canyon, but for the most part this is a very easy drive. Just SLOW down and you'll have no problem. If you're not experienced at desert tracks, you may want to rent a Jeep or find a friend with a 4x4. The rewards of this drive are awesome. From high desert flats to steep canyons and a ghost town named "Leadfield", this drive is very cool. Be sure and figure 2 hours and as always in Death Valley, carry lots of water. Your camera is important as well as there are lots of neat geological formations that you'll want to shoot. This was my favorite drive so far and I highly recommend it!

The Titus Canyon drive is awesome - beautiful scenery with a spectacular drive at the end through the Narrows. NOTE: You absolutely need a 4x4 to drive this route and give yourself at least 2 hours. We rented jeeps from Farabee Jeeps and took two of their guides with our group. Well worth the investment.

We arrived a few days after the road was plowed, so conditions were as good as they ever get. Perhaps if we had not experienced a flat tire the prior year on a gravel road, we would have felt less vulnerable. As it was we were quite aware of the remote location and the lack of help if we got into trouble. There were about three other vehicles leapfrogging each other. There was never a question whether our 4WD could handle the road surface, although the tires did spin and we had to engage the 4WD. I would not have wanted to take a sedan out there although I hear it has been done. The initial 8 miles or so is rather boring, then the elevation picks up and the scenery starts to draw attention, but so does the road! The road is about 30 miles long (longer than it appears on the maps). The very end of the drive is great fun as the road serpentines through the tight canyon walls. It was cold out there Feb 6th. We only stopped briefly at the ghost town, but there were people who stopped to hike a bit. Lots of photo ops. I wouldnt take anyone with vertigo - that would be a disaster!

Great experience! Unbelievable drive on a dirt and gravel road for 26 miles. The elevation changes down into Death Valley give you fantastic views. The first 10 miles are scenic and by the time you hit leadfield the drive gets a little tougher but take your time and you will not be sorry. Once you get in the canyon you will be blown away

A narrow canyon that offers really good hiking. We hiked until the canyon opened up. Picture perfect canyon scenes at every turn of the road.

Awesome! You must try it if you have a 4x4 and love a little adrenaline rush.. The land is rugged, tight corners, great view from bottom of the canyon. Only for good drivers!

My friend and I visited Death Valley in January 2015 over five full days. There are many highlights over the course of the trip, but this was the top one for the both of us. Titus Canyon can be visited on foot from the southwest end or travel by high clearance 4x4 from the northeast end. The latter is the way to see the whole canyon. That's exactly what we did. We started in early afternoon and turned off the paved road in Nevada onto the 4x4 road up to Titus Canyon. From there it takes a few miles as you make your way back to the mountains across the desert. Once you start going up into the mountains, you are in a for a real treat. The road winds it's way up into the mountains and through a pass before you start to close in on the canyon proper. The views all along the way are spectacular with many colors coming out of the stone in this area. After the first pass, you'll come down with a few options for parking and hiking on foot. Then you'll come to Leadfield, the remnants of a boomtown that lasted less than a year. About four decent sized buildings still remain and are interesting to peak into (I don't recommend going inside as these are structurally on their last leg). After Leadfield you can tell you are going into the canyon itself. The walls come up around and you find out why this is a one way road. The walls are stunningly high at this point and you wind your way down the canyon. My one wish at this point was for a moonroof/sunroof in my friends truck. If you have one, or better yet if you can remove your roof entirely, you will have a great view looking up at the canyon walls that surround you. For us, we stopped regularly and got out to look up, check things out, and take photos. Soon after the narrow part of the canyon, you'll come to the end and a parking area. If I didn't have the option to drive the road (4x4 or at least high clearance), I'd still recommend parking here and taking a 3-4 mile walk up the canyon (or more if you are up to it!).

There's no way the average person, even with 4-wheel drive can navigate and enjoy this. Splurge and have a jeep-guided tour.

Wonderfull experience, EXCEPT THE ROAD IS IN A REALLY BAD CONDITION, after a rain probably. Deep holes everywhere, we had to bring rocks to fill them to get over every few minutes. It took us 5 hours instead of 2 as the park service says in their bulletin. It is a miracle the car- not SUV or jeep - survived. Be careful!
