Field trip with West Valley College’s Photography Dept. to Death Valley National Park.

Before driving into Titus Canyon our fearless leader Brian gave us a talk about being safe while driving on this road. It was narrow, steep, and really rutted in places. A 4×4 or high clearance vehicle was recommended. He didn’t tell us about the really narrow part being really high with no guard rails! That freaked out a few people.
I want to go back and park at the turn out just before that and take photographs of the view. It was awesome, but we couldn’t stop, and it was far too bumpy, and dusty to get a clean shot from the moving car shooting out the window.

This red Jeep was brand new! She wanted to break it in she said.

A mile to mile and half before we exited the canyon the Drivers let the passengers get out to hike out the rest of the way. Then the drivers parked outside the canyon and hiked back in…if they wanted to. I was a passenger and you know I hiked out. I got a few neat photos from here.
