The Notch is where the McKittrick Canyon Trail passes through a physical break in the ridge, marking an excellent viewpoint over the canyon about halfway between McKittrick Ridge and the McKittrick Canyon Trailhead. For most day hikers, the Notch is the stunning, traditional turnaround point that offers incredible views of the sheer peaks that tower over the canyon. These views are even more exceptional in the fall as the leaves change from green to red, yellow, and orange.
