In the afternoon, we’ll make our way to Screeching Bird Canyon, a breathtaking gorge sculpted over time by the Mijares River. From a stunning viewpoint, you’ll take in sweeping views of towering cliffs, rugged rock formations, and the winding river far below. The sheer scale of this place is humbling, and if we’re lucky, we might even hear the canyon’s namesake—the echoing calls of birds soaring high above. It’s the perfect spot to pause, soak in the beauty, and capture some unforgettable photos before we head to our final stop.
