Comments: One of the only places in West Texas that has premier fall foliage. It was our first trip, and it was everything we had anticipated. Truly a beautiful hike. The foliage was about 30-40% when we went. Although not at peak, we wouldn't have known any difference! Watched some wild javelina rooting along the other side of the stream. The visit to the Pratt lodge (along the way)was nice, too. This hike would probably be a 4.0 solitude any other time of year, but during foliage season, people come from all over to see this canyon's beauty.
