This canyon used to be one of my best secrets but it has gotten more known over the last years. It's still a bit tricky to find though. You need to find the small dirt road that turns off the main road and follow it to the end. The road can be very bumpy and rocky and a 4wd is best but not required. There's a small parking lot and a path that leads up the hill. Follow this one for about 45 min and you get to the main view point. The trail leads further but no need to walk higher up as this is the best view you will get over the canyon.

Best experienced from April - October.
