Another must do in Death Valley. 4WD not required but a truck or basic SUV would be advised over a standard passenger vehicle.

Great drive even if you don't have a 4x4. This is one drive I never get tired of and is a must do when traveling to DV

My wife who started the drive saying "this is rough, way too much washboard" exited Titus Canyon saying "That was the most amazing drive I've ever taken". It is absolutely a must do and is a great easy intro to Death Valley dirt road driving. I will do that drive on every visit to the park.

An artfully driven sedan, especially a rental piloted by a German, can be driven down Titus when the road is in reasonable shape.

Don't miss this DV spot!

Well, we finally did the trip through Titus. An amazing road and a great drive. And, there is lots to stop and see along the way. As others have said, a must do.

Don't let the first five or so miles of washboard scare you....The road gets much nicer as you enter the canyon proper.
