Reflection Canyon is a remote and visually stunning area located in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah, known for its dramatic sandstone formations and captivating sunrises and sunsets. It's not your typical canyon - more like a winding curve of the Escalante arm of Lake Powell nestled amidst towering red rock cliffs. Accessible by boat, plane, or a challenging hike, but keep in mind droning is NOT allowed, given this is located in Glen Canyon Rec Area.

This is a strenuous trail. Not so much due to the elevation bc it is spread out over 8 miles, but the trail is mostly along slickrock without a defined trail to follow. You must also pack all of your water and need a minimum of 6 liters, and close to double if it's hot outside.
