Literally Named

            In the desert it seems that there is little appetite for naming things with flourish.  Death Valley and Badwater Basin come to mind.  This portion of the Titus Canyon Road through a ridge of the Grapevine Mountains is called Red Pass.  

Few of the peaks in this image are named.  The dark distant peak near the center of the frame is Mount Palmer nearly eight miles to the northwest.  Two miles along that same azimuth from this point lies Leadfield, an abandoned lead mining town, and the turn into Titus Canyon.
