Titus Canyon

I’ve never been the off-roadding truck/Jeep type.  Rather, I’ve always viewed my truck strictly as a ultitlity – something that carries me and my belongings safely from somewhere to somewhere else.  Definately not a vehicle for pleasure.

This view of mine changed somewhat the other day when my buddy Gus convinced a few of us to go explore Death Valley’s Titus Canyon with him.   It turns out, driving the trail was was pretty fun and I can see how people get hooked driving and exploring deep into a canyon.  The canyon is absolutely stunning and my stock truck did just fine on the trails.

Kelly had a miserable time – way too much bouncing around he her.

The entire time I kept thinking to myself I would have much rather experienced the canyon from my mountain bike – doing so would have really been fun.

And, while the above photos Gus took are great, just image how cool they could have been had he captured me on my bike.
