Titus Canyon Road - Due to flood damage. Bicycle use is prohibited in Titus Canyon for safety reasons. Impassable. Not likely to open before January 2025. Lower Titus Canyon to the Fall Canyon Trailhead is open.
Titus Canyon in Death Valley offers an unforgettable adventure through one of the most stunning landscapes in the region. This scenic drive takes you through narrow, winding canyons, towering limestone cliffs, and vibrant rock formations, all while offering a glimpse into the area's rich history with ancient petroglyphs and the ghost town of Leadfield. Whether you're an off-road enthusiast or simply seeking a unique experience, Titus Canyon's dramatic vistas and rugged terrain make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Death Valley National Park.
For reference, our trip was in October 2021 and the weather was perfect. Although the roads are well maintained, the Titus Canyon website recommends two-wheel-drive, high-clearance vehicles or four-wheel-drive after adverse weather conditions. Always check their website for road conditions.

Was the trail easy? How long to complete the trail before seeing the main road?

[@MissionOffRoad]

The trail is easy in my opinion. The NPS website states 2WD with high clearance is acceptable. You can do it in 2-4 hours depending how much you stop to see the sites. Please note Titus Canyon is closed until next year. Check the NPS website for updates.
