Death Valley 2013 - Day 5 - Titus Canyon Road

On our 5th day in Death Valley, we drove Titus Canyon Road, a one-way dirt road that is listed as 26.8 miles long in the park map. This road is listed as one-way from east to west in every description I've read of it (although I never actually saw any sign on the road travelling west indicating it's one-way status).

This road goes through some mountain country with vivid desert colors. It goes past the old (and short-lived) ghost town of Leadfield, before eventually reaching Titus Canyon itself (where we had been on foot the previous day).
