5 Sights & Landmarks in Copper Canyon That You Shouldn't Miss

July 15, 2021 Trinity Boughner

A gulf four times bigger than the Grand Canyon, this chasm in the Sierra Madres offers outstanding backpacking and eco adventures. Even getting to this gorgeous gorge is a thrill: The dramatic 400-mile train trip through almost 100 tunnels and over 37 bridges is one of the world's most stunning.

Cristo Rey

Reviewed By marcain - Washington DC, United States

The trail to Cristo Rey is a little bit obscure, but locals will guide you if you ask. My very fractured Spanish got us on the path, which is only mildly strenuous. Creel is at about 6500 feet altitude, and the hike is uphill. But, quite manageable for a 65 and 70 yr old. The views are not like the Copper River Canyon, but you can see the whole of the valley in which Creel sits. Well worth the effort.
