Eureka ValleyA beautiful valley located in the eastern California in the southwestern United States. It is a graben, like most other lower-lying areas of the Basin and Range Province. The valley has two distinguishing features. Its shape alters the wind in such a way as to collect sand near its southern end, leading to the unique Eureka Dunes.

Titus Canyon Road.This road is no ordinary route; it's a 27-mile gravel narrow road that winds its way through the rugged and beautiful backcountry of Death Valley National Park. Along the way, you'll find yourself in awe of the stunning scenery that surrounds you - towering cliffs, colorful rock formations, and endless vistas. But fair warning, this road is not for the faint of heart. It's narrow, with steep turns and the occasional drop-off, so you'll want to keep your hands at ten and two.
