Remote canyon country on the Sabinal River with spring-fed streams and a good trail network. The bigtooth maples turn red and orange for a few weeks around early to mid November. Camping is on site, and weekends in peak colour are very crowded.

Good to know

  • Arrive early in leaf season, car parks fill by 10am
