Destination 2:  

Titus Canyon (again)

Part 5: Main Canyon and Exit

If you used the links in Part 1 you have already seen the main canyon twice, but it is like looking again and again at a dearly loved one: each view is a renewal of the mystery of the attractive power that is often called love.  Love never dies, it just keeps renewing itself.

So it is with the rocks of Titus Canyon.  Each visit is a new inhalation of the intoxicating fragrance of rock-love.  It can never die, it can only be renewed!

So inhale this:

Here is the collapsed cave area we walked to before from the lower exit (two-way foot traffic is allowed, just watch for cars!):

Leaving the canyon, the moon helped shed some welcome light:

That's all for this visit to Titus.  Thanks for coming with me and I'm sorry it took so long.

Tomorrow we visit Ubehebe and Scottie.  Come along!
