Not many people driving through this tiny former mining community gazing up at the La Ramona chimney are aware of the connection to Gustav Eiffel of the Eiffel Tower.

Cañón de la Zorra
Landmark
Open Details
Change into swim clothes and lace up those trainers, because it's time for a little hike to one of the most amazing natural swimming pools you'll ever experience.
The Cañón de la Zorra is nestled deep in the interior, which requires a short, but steep, 10- to 20-minute walk down into the canyon through a series of stone carved steps. While you do need to be careful going down, there are ropes and railings to keep you safe.
At the bottom, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful oasis and stunning waterfall that plunges into cold, clear waters. Enjoy hiking though the area if you'd like to explore the lower pools as well.
Park at the end of the dirt road by the Rancho and bring cash for a small entrance fee payable at the interpretive centre by the parking area, then follow the stone path to the oasis.
There are no services available, so you do need to bring water with you.
Opening Hours: Daily: 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
