You’ll find gravel roads throughout the park and the side roads are the most likely. We enjoyed the drive up and the short hike into the canyon.Full review by Ronald B

Titus Canyon is a 26 mile dirt road that takes you through Leadfield Ghost town.  This one way road starts outside the park by the entrance to Rhyolite.  The road is maintained enough to get most 2…Full review by lovz2hike

We rented a 4x4 from Farabee's for the day. They were great to work with and the drive through Titus Canyon was really amazing. The drive itself was fun - going through the windy mountain roads - a…Full review by NewtonDad

I drove Titus Canyon in December. We started about mid morning which turned out to be perfect. The red of the surrounding mountains just seemed to pop. The drive got a little crowded once the road got narrower before it made the climb up the pass.
Q:
Would we be able to take this road in an escalade esv in june?

I agree with the above. The tricky areas are narrow, and the road would be a challenge with a extra large SUV. However, there are Full Size 4X4 Trucks that go through there all the time (some with stock truck tires). If you have the right tires and experience driving the Escalade off road, as well as manage your speed, you should be able to make it. In June?... Follow the weather forecast daily, and Check the Death Valley (National Park Service) website for what to prepare for in the summer months. And check for road closures due to rain.

Q:
A recent review mentions tour jeeps on the Titus Canyon Road. I'd like to do that drive on my next visit to Death Valley, and one of the things I love most about the park is the sense of isolation that can be found there. Do you think the tour jeeps could be considered an intrusion on this drive? Thanks for any help you can offer.
A:
I haven't seen them, so they probably aren't there all the time. Call the companies and ask for their schedules.

Q:
Hi I am planning to drive Titus Canyon if I have time after driving round the DV attractions South of Furnace Creek. I see on Google Street view that Titus Canyon Rd is only open Eastbound from Scotty's Castle Rd for 3 miles so is the best way to enter Titus Canyon heading West from highway 374 near Beatty?
A:
Yes, you want to enter from the west entrance because the road through the majority of the Canyon is one way. Don't forget to fill up prior to going in because it's a long way to gas from the …

Yes, you want to enter from the west entrance because the road through the majority of the Canyon is one way. Don't forget to fill up prior to going in because it's a long way to gas from the hard road.

Q:
Is the sun in the eyes an issue in late afternoon, since it's a western direction? I haven't (yet) read anyone state that as an issue for them.
A:
I wouldn't think the sun would be an issue. The canyon walls are high and the road winds through the canyon. Any sun issue would be short lived.
