Fall Canyon Trail Details

Fall Canyon, like many in Death Valley, has some beautiful narrows that are fun to explore. But you'll have to work a bit for the experience, since this three-mile hike involves some climbing and scrambling around a 35-foot dry waterfall. The hike dead-ends at another dryfall -- this one impassable. The trailhead is located at the Titus Canyon Mouth parking area, which is 3 miles off Scotty's Castle Road on a graded gravel road.
