Eagle Mine Road - Joshua Tree National Park
Beginning 6.5 miles north of the Cottonwood Visitor Center, this dead-end dirt
road runs along the edge of Pinto Basin, crosses several dry washes, and then
winds up through canyons in the Eagle Mountains. The first 9 + miles of the road
are within the park boundary. Beyond that point is BLM land. Several old mines
are located near this road.
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!
