The Story of Leadfield & the Titus Canyon Road

There is a rugged, gnarly gravel road, the only road, through the Grapevine Mountains in Death Valley National Park. It is the Titus Canyon Road - a great gravel bike ride, 25 miles with an elevation loss of over 5000 feet. But ... how did that road come to be? In this podcast, we talk with Jeremy Stoltzfus, a Death Valley Park Ranger who is in charge of mining history and artifacts. Jeremy has been with the park service for over 16 years, all the time in Death Valley. ------------------------------- This podcast is produced by Dirty Freehub, a nonprofit organization that publishes hand-curated (and great!) gravel cycling route guides. Our mission is to connect gravel cyclists to where they ride through stories about culture, history, people, places, and lands with the hope that they will become involved as advocates, volunteers, or donors with organizations that protect and preserve recreation spaces.
