Titus
Canyon, Death Valley 4x4
As Titus Canyon Road in Death Valley reaches the foothills, it starts
to climb and meander among the sagebrush and red rock outcroppings. The road
becomes steeper and narrower as it approaches Red Pass, amply named for its red
rocks and dirt. Enjoy the ride!
Ballarat,
and the Rainbow Chasers
At the end of every rainbow is a pot of gold. Parked at the base of the Panamint
Mountains are the remains of Ballarat, California. Founded in 1876 as a supply
center for gold mines and prospectors, Ballarat lasted 21 years. After the post
office closed in 1970, Ballarat became home for two famous rainbow chasers: Shorty
Harris and Seldom Seen Slim. Learn more about these colorful prospectors, and
the ghost town of Ballarat in this video.

Rainbow Bridge National Monument
DesertUSA takes you to Rainbow Bridge, the world's largest natural bridge. It is considered sacred by the Navajo Indians, for whom personified rainbows have stood as guardians of the universe. The bridge's predominant color is salmon-pink, with dark stains called desert varnish, caused by iron oxide (hematite). Afternoon sunlight makes the coloration especially brilliant.
