The April 2006 National Geographic published the article "Glen Canyon Revealed" with a picture of Reflection Canyon by Michael Melford. Since that moment, hikers have made a hard and difficult 16-18 mile round trip hike to see this unique and spectacular serpentine channel that marks this canyon. Individuals considering this trek beware, this isn't a hike for inexperienced hikers. There isn't any reliable water sources, a steep grade to climb to the top of the hill, nor landmarks any recognizable reference points to the hilltop where he took his photo.
