Backpacking to Reflection Canyon is not for the faint of heart. It is an incredibly challenging 20-mile round-trip hike through the Glen Canyon backcountry for one view into Reflection Canyon. Reflection Canyon is an extension of Lake Powell, and it is usually seen by boat and plane, though this intense hike is starting to gain more popularity as of late. Its location was revealed in 2006 when National Geographic published photographer Michael Melford's photos of the canyon.
