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).

Pale green brush on the foreground slopes lead to sharper mountains under blue sky. Rock colors include yellows and reds. You can see how the red rock has broken off the mountain to form rock slides, and darker-green bushes grow around those slides.
