Depending on who you talk to, Tiger Leaping Gorge is considered the world’s deepest river canyon. Hiking the high trail leaves you with the sensation that you are actually part of the mountains since walls of rock are all that you can see. Jade Dragon Snow and Haba Snow mountains close in on the trail and but for the roar of water flowing below, you wouldn’t even know there was a river below. It is rarely possible to actually see the river that carved this amazing gorge.
