Located along the southern end of the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, these two landmarks are worthy of in-depth exploration. Tuff Canyon was carved out of soft volcanic tuff (compressed ash). The deep and narrow canyon is easily observed from two viewing platforms. If you wish, you may enter and hike through the gorge too.
