The route up Titus Canyon is one of the most popular in all of Death Valley National Park as it travels through a scenic canyon to multiple points of interest including a historic mining area and petroglyphs. The route follows a well-maintained gravel road that has no major obstacles. There are a few sections that are a little steep and narrow but the road is passable by most stock SUVs. The route is a one-way road that goes from east to west and because it is in the national park it is only open to street legal vehicles with a park pass. The route is open all year but is not recommended for the summer due to the excessive hot temperatures.

Mojave Road explores very remote and rugged terrain in historic and scenic Mojave National Preserve of southeast California. The eastern section of the road starts just on the east side of the California/Nevada border and heads west over a combination of rocky, sandy, rutted, and steep roadway. The ride is rated as moderate and is suitable for high-clearance 4x4 SUVs. Route-finding can be difficult so having a map, following cairns, and using GPS is recommended.

This adventure is located an hour south of Las Vegas in a preserved ghost town called Nelson. The trail travels through a narrow rocky canyon with a mine and is a local favorite looking to test out a built rig. Expect two big waterfall climbs, the first one requires a locker but does have a bypass. The rock is sharp desert rock so good clearance is required. Flash floods can happen in this canyon so do not enter if there is any chance of rain.

While this is a very easy gravel road to follow, be sure to watch out for small hidden ruts and washouts especially after rainstorms. This route is very scenic and you will find some amazing petroglyphs as well.
