Backpacking to Reflection Canyon is not for the faint of heart. It is an incredibly challenging about 20 miles (32 Km) round-trip hike through the Glen Canyon backcountry for only one view into Reflection Canyon.

You will need a four-wheel drive vehicle to access this remote section in the Grand Escalante Staircase National Monument via an unmaintained and unpaved route down Hole in the Rock Road. It's about 50 miles, 2 - 3 hours driving.

Be sure to check weather and road conditions before you head out; storms and rainfall can wash out portions of the road and create sections that are muddy and impassible.

Although the net elevation gain is small, remember that you will be constantly climbing ravines, hills, and canyons. Also, there are no places to get water on this adventure. You will need to carry all of your water and bring plenty of it if you explore this area in the warmer months.
Don't forget you're exposed to the sun all the time, there's no shade, no place to hide from the sun.
Leave No Trace rules apply, and you must carry out everything that you bring in.

A GPS is highly recommended. There is no cell phone reception, and you're very unlikely to run into anyone the whole duration of your trip. Reflection Canyon is remote and isolated, 60+ miles away from civilization.

Have fun, but don't underestimate desert challenges.
