Begin at Nevada HWY 374 out of Beatty, NV. The turn for Titus Canyon is a one way road and must be accessed from the Nevada side of Death Valley. If accessing Titus Canyon from within Death Valley, you may park at the car lot and hike into Titus Canyon.
This is a great way to get introduced to Death Valley and begin to learn about the geology of the National Park.
Throughout the video we occasionally stop for pictures and to allow the kids to explore or take pics.

Titus Canyon 4wd Road - Death Valley National Park, CA
For the full trail guide please visit:
Titus Canyon 4wd Road is a spectacular off-road trail within Death Valley National Park guaranteed to please. It is no wonder this one-way trail attracts thousands of globe trotting visitors each year. The 27-mile long road plunges visitors into fossil-rich canyons, over mile-high passes on rocky shelf roads, through a ghost town, along petroglyph-filled walls, and culminates in an exciting vehicular-slot canyon. The canyon finale shrinks to one lane wide and takes the driver and passengers through a 1.5-mile twisty bobsled-like run through the Titus Canyon Narrows before dumping everyone out into a wide vista of northern Death Valley. This gem of a trail is truly one of the most satisfying roads in southern California and is on par with many of the iconic trails in the United States.

Here are some tips for driving in Death Valley:
1. You don't need a heavy-duty offroad vehicle or even an SUV to enjoy the scenery roads in DV. Any road-legal car can let you drive thru the majority of view points like badwater basin, zabriskie point, and many others including hiking trails.
2. However, if you deem driving as a hobby or you are already an off-roading fan, the backcountry roads in DV is a must try! DV probably has the most total miles of backcountry roads among all US national parks. Many of the unique breathtaking view points are only accessible via unpaved roads. Usually there are far less visitors at these view points which means you will take unobstructed pictures easily and have more dedicated time. An extreme reverse example is the wall street bull: always surrounded by a crowd.
3. For titus canyon road, racetrack road and aguereberry point road, 4x4 is not necessary if road surface is dry. What I drove in the video is a 4x4 Jeep Patriot with regular all-season tire. Yes, even all-terrain tire is optional. I see many sedan-like SUVs like CRV and RAV4 can handle these roads very well. As long as your vehicle has high clearance, there is no technical issue WHEN IT IS DRY (4x4 only if it is wet). But, please bear in mind that in such a remote area, towing service is super expensive if not impossible. What car you will offroad with is really a personal choice and either way can work 99% of the time. For the 1% unexpected incident, 4x4 and all-terrain tire can give you an extra layer of security and more ease in mind. Also, all the off-road driving techniques should apply. Know your car, drive with caution, manage friction, etc. Most importantly, whatever car you are driving, BRING TIRE INFLATOR, FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE, TIRE CHANGE TOOLS and TIRE FIX KIT you familiar with. Never go off-road if you don't know how to change a tire or fix a tire.
4. Titus canyon road has loose stones sometimes, the friction is lower. This is dangerous if you drive downhill. Focus on the road and slow down before you enter the loose stone area. Well, drifting is easy on the other side. Be safe and have fun.
5. Racetrack has better tire traction than titus canyon. The challenge is sharp stones. Follow previous tire tracks and avoid sharp stones as many as possible. DON'T RUSH, LEAVE A WHOLE DAY FOR RACETRACK. Slow down if you don't feel comfortable with the road condition.
6. The 6-mile Aguereberry point road is relatively easy. Be careful when the road grade is steep.
7. The above opinions are merely based on my personal experience. Your mileage may vary. Always use caution and focus when you are driving. Also, there are so many other roads in DV that I can't manage to cover. Do some research and enjoy your own exploration.

The Best of the Back Road Drive Through Titus Canyon in Death Valley -- a steady, wide view camera
I had always heard about the steep, unprotected drop-offs -- and the narrow, rocky road -- and the potential problems of driving the one-way road in Death Valley through Titus Canyon. On February 16, 2012, I got the courage to make the drive. The entire loop takes at least 3 hours -- most of it on light gravel. I mounted a small camera on the roof of the car -- took about 35 minutes of wide screen video -- and selected about 8 minutes of that to present here to show the drive. I think it gives a good idea about the most exciting parts of the drive. For other Franklin Clay Films videos go to wxyzvideos.com
Titus Canyon - Death Valley National Park, CA
Some highlights of the Titus Canyon road recorded on 12/30/17, not long after the park reopened the road following recent storm damage. The road can be driven with an SUV with decent clearance. No 4x4 is necessary. However, I do recommend a full size spare tire. The road offers some great scenery, leading into the ghost town of Leadfield, then a small petroglyph site, and finally meanders through a slot canyon.
Hiking Titus Canyon, Death Valley National Park
We hike the last 1.5 miles of the 27 mile Titus Canyon loop. We attempted to drive the route in Our Dodge Ram Promaster a few days earlier but we were quickly turned back due to rain and mud... we NEVER would have made it down the canyon.

Titus Canyon Trail - Death Valley
Titus Canyon is one of the more popular trails in Death Valley National Park. Always go prepared though. It could be a while before you see anybody out there. The signpost at the beginning of the trail states a high clearance vehicle is recommended. Most of the trail is fine, but there are some sandy spots in the canyon itself. This trail starts out on a level dirt road, and climbs high on the side of a steep hill/mountain side. You'll pass through the old ghost town of Leadfield. This is a nice midway point to stop and look around. As you start to exit through Titus Canyon, sometimes it gets very narrow in spots. It's a beautiful one of a kind trail with steep walls that reach a few hundred feet on both sides. A trail you won't soon forget.

Death Valley, March 2016, Titus Canyon
In February 2016 there were multiple media reports of an impending Super Bloom in Death Valley National Park. A once in a decade event, the lure was too much for me. So, I packed up my gear and headed to California. While I fully expected to not be the only person to think of this, I was confident that my Jeep would allow me to access areas too remote for the madding crowds.
This is the fourth and last full day of my stay in the park. It was my last full day in the park. Mitch and Doug, my campsite neighbors, were heading back to their homes in Northern California because of a major storm hitting the northern coast. Since I was headed the other direction, I figured I was good to leave the next morning, allowing me one last day in the park – an opportunity to explore Titus Canyon. Because that is a popular, but often narrow, dirt road, I wanted to get a head start on the crowds, affording me ample opportunity to shoot video without interruption. So, as the sun rose in the east I was headed to Nevada, where the entry to this spectacular one-way drive begins.

Death Valley - Descent from Red Pass through Titus Slot Canyon
Titus Canyon is a drive-able slot canyon in the north-eastern section of Death Valley National Park that will have you awe-struck and hooting with exhilaration. [Skip to 7:30 if you just want to see the slot.]
To get there, gas up in Beatty NV, visit the nearby Rhyolite ghost town, then take Titus Canyon Road northward from the junction a couple of miles from Rhyolite. The first 6 miles are washboard penance, followed by beautiful, narrow Red Pass, then down to the old Leadfield ghost town.
Upper Titus canyon begins just below the ghost town, undulating around rock outcroppings, past petroglyphs and desert bighorn sheep for miles.
The canyon walls close in as you enter lower Titus Canyon's slot, becoming water-worn from flash floods. The track squeezes narrow and sinuous between rising walls that blaze in the sunshine above as you navigate the dark canyon depths.
If you ever get the chance, DO THIS DRIVE. You'll want high clearance, or a short wheelbase. Low slung passenger cars may leave bits of undercarriage along the way. This really is a world-class drive, worth every washboard on the way in.
