Point - Borrego Badlands
Centered in the arid Borrego Badlands due east of the Visitors Center
between County Road S-22 and Route 78, four million years of geologic and paleontologic
history are exhibited across a stark desert landscape. Join the crew of DesertUSA
and take a road trip to Fonts Point, maybe the best place in North America to
view sediments of the Pliocene and Pleistocene Epochs.
Death Valley - Titus Canyon
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!
