Still closed. Seriously I wonder why I pay for an annual pass.

Amazing! What a great trail! Amazing views during the ridge climb, a ghost town, and WOW the slot canyon! This is a must-do if you are visiting Death Valley.

Titus Canyon is perhaps the best place to get your feet wet (or dirty, I suppose) when it comes to 4-wheeling in Death Valley. This road is easily traveled by a reasonably stout 4WD and shows off a lot of the beauty, geology, and history that Death Valley has to offer. I wouldn't want to be on this road (especially down in the narrows) on the rare occasions when it rains in Death Valley, but otherwise this is a terrific road for the beginner. Just make sure you're prepared for the extreme environment with some basic tools and repair supplies, as well as food and water. The environment out there is no joke.

This trail was at the top of my bucket list. Traveled through in my Jeep Gladiator with my 2 Schnauzers. A few hairpin turns up top gave me white knuckles but we persevered. What a beautiful trail to gain experience! Met nice people along the way.😁

Very cool trail. Really lets you explore parts of the area that are less traveled. Jamming through the slot canyon at the trail's finish ends it on a high note. Definitely worth the drive if you are in the area.

Really cool trail! Any 4x4 can run this. Best part is when you get into the canyon and you have canyon walls on each side. Super cool and a must if you’re in the area. The road getting to the mountain area was pretty long and washboard but worth it at the end.

We did this in a modified 2019 Sprinter 170 WB 2500 4x4. There are a couple spots that were a little tight for that big of a van but overall it was very doable. If you are in a real off-road rig (Jeep, truck, good SUV) it is easy. This drive was the best part of our Death Valley trip. There is some dry camping on the road leading into the Canyons in case you want to make it an extended drive.

I took the family out to Titus Canyon for our first real off-roading experience in our new to us 4Runner. The trail was a lot of fun, Red Pass looked intimidating when we first saw it but was easily doable, and the descent was the most technical part. Stopped for a lunch break at the ghost town, which the kids thought was really cool. After the ghost town the trail takes you into the narrows which were awesome. It was recommended that we air down our tires but we didn’t and didn’t have any issues. It was pretty busy too, but with great spring weather it’s not a surprise. 2wd would be fine on this trail.

Saved this trail for the end of our Death Valley trip. Easy, graded dirt road that recommends high clearance but we saw a stock VW Tiguan do it with no problem. Stopped for dinner in the canyon and had the most epic views. It was dark by the time we got into the slot canyon which made for a very different experience with the lights shining off the canyon walls. This is definitely a must-do trail and super accessible for even stock 2WD rigs.

Very bad washboard the first ten miles. The last section tight section through the canyon was super cool, and made it well worth the trip.

Titus Canyon is one of the most beautiful places I've off-roaded around. The trail is easy - there's a couple of steep climbs and a few shelf areas but not a challenge at all.

Pretty nice trail for a weekend drive. Headed out with the intent of just cruising around a bit. The trail wasn't too busy at all. The scenery was nice. Really enjoyed seeing the ghost town and pictographs.

My son and I started Titus Canyon from the Nevada 374...This is my first canyon trail in our rented jeep...Absolutely beautiful vistas paired with some tight turns and passes. This trail took us aprox 3.5 hours after a few stops along the way for pics... this trail left us longing for more....

We revisited Titus Canyon this past February and enjoyed a spendid day on the trail. It was a little cold but as we were inside our truck most of the time, we had an enjoyable outing. I got out at Leadfield and spent more time checking out the buildings this time around.

This is the nicest canyon in Death Valley! The last part of the trip (one way road) is stunningly beautiful! An easy travel with any stock vehicle with proper offload tires! (do not take your grocery getter suv there!) Highly recommend taking half a day to enjoy! Not technical, not challenging, just beautiful!

Great trail, surprising number of other visitors on a weekday. We had some drizzle from Leadfield to Titus Canyon but escaped without getting swept away in the flash flood. Very well maintained and graded trail with lot of spots to explore. Can spend an entire day exploring mines, trails, and Leadfield.
