Death Valley Road Trip

[bobLC]

Did a 1000 mile road trip and the LC was comfortable and capable. Could not have asked for a better overlanding experience.

What trails/roads did you go on, and did you have the bike rack on the whole way? Did you by chance go up Goler Wash to Striped Butte?

Camped at Alabama Hils, Hole in the wall, echo canyon, marble canyon. Yep, bike rack was on the whole time.

Cool. So you drive through Titus Canyon? How did the car do with it? Last time I drove through it it took me 5 hours at that 20 miles trail.
Did you have the chance to try Racetrack too? I blew shocks on the Jeep rental last time but it was completely fun (luckily the blew shock was not caught by the rental company)

Titus canyon was closed. Did not do racetrack. Heard it’s crap road. We did get to the crater though.

That’s how we blew our Jeep shocks there. It is “only” 26 miles off-roading with a lot of small rocks that could chip your windshield. But it would be a good test for LC’s shock, if you are open to that kind of wear on your brand new car. It’s worth it if you ask me. Bring your tent and camp there if you can.

This was echo canyon.
