It Took Me By Surprise, I Must Say - a photo on Flickriver

            Death Valley in winter was a great vacation spot.  Much more vibrant and colorful than my imagination led me to believe possible.

One of the areas of the park that should not be overlooked is the Titus Canyon Road which enters the NP from the Nevada side. Winding its way through the Titanothere Canyon, seen here, the road climbs to Red Pass along the left side of this ridge in the Grapevine Mountains, where it descends into Titus Canyon, home of the 1920s boomtown, Leadfield, before exiting the Grapevine Range through a picturesque slot canyon.

The road is well maintained and attracts a fair number of visitors.  As with all of Death Valley, it requires additional precautions in summer months due to heat and may be problematic if rain is anywhere in the forecast.  

As beautiful as this location is in color, I thought I would first share it in a monochrome format, highlighting the rugged, spartan, landscape under a dramatic cloudy sky.
