Titus Canyon

Perched above Titus Canyon, this boom-and-bust mining town has the dubious honor of being one of the West’s most short-lived.

This part of Death Valley National Park is made up of an otherworldly terrain of clay, sand and the surrounding mountains.

See an American desert in this expansive, sweltering U.S. national park. Find birds, wildflowers and snow-capped mountains here as well.

The oldest house in Death Valley is a 19th-century miners’ bunkhouse that now contains a shop surrounded by equipment that supported the valley’s primary product.

Feel the soft and smooth finish of the shiny marbleized rocks that characterize the walls of this exceptional canyon in Death Valley.

Walk along the platform hovering above the water and catch a glimpse of the remarkable Salt Lake pupfish.
