Reflection Canyon

Reflection Canyon is a branching side canyon on the west side of the main channel at about mile 56, just downlake from the mouth of the San Juan arm. It is best known for the overlook of its meanders, reached by a 15-20 mile round-trip, mostly cross-country hike from a trailhead near mile 50 of the Hole-in-the-Rock Road; overnight trips need a free permit. By boat you can explore its arms directly from the water.
