More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off into a narrow ribbon of water, sheer rock walls pressing close as two low mountains frame the canyon entrance. The current is polite here; the water is so clear you can see pebbles and the slow flick of a turtle’s tail beneath your board. Bird calls and the occasional frog punctuate the silence, and the canyon seems to lean in, daring you to keep exploring.
