From the vantage point of Miles Canyon, you can see for miles. Wonderful trails and footpaths... enough to follow all day. Miles Canyon Road is seasonal, don't expect to drive there in the winter. More

Only a few minutes from town. Very scenic. There are boat trips available down the canyon or you can walk along the paths and take some amazing photos from the bridge. More
