Rail Canyon is the seventh stage in Sonic Heroes.
Description[]
As the name suggests, it is a canyon filled level with a large amount of rails (which, of course, most of the level is spent grinding upon). This stage is quite long, and for the majority of it, there is no solid ground. Good grinding and rail switching skills will be needed to finish this stage without dying. Completing this stage leads to Bullet Station.
Story[]
After defeating an army of robots in Robot Carnival, Team Sonic goes to destroy Eggman's base before sundown to meet their Three-day deadline. Team Dark must find the entrance to Eggman's base to interrogate the Doctor. Team Rose must go beyond the rails to find Froggy and Chocola. Team Chaotix must infiltrate the terminal station. Each team has a different reason to come here, but generally, they are looking to find and stop Dr. Eggman.

Trivia[]
- This stage has used more rails than any other Sonic level. Final Rush from Sonic Adventure 2 is a close second.
- There is a glitch on this level. During the Team Chaotix mission, if the player uses Leaf Swirl to go through the laser security, then switch to Charmy or Vector, it is possible to get to the teleport flower without activating the switches.
- In Super-Hard mode, the rail boosters launch Team Sonic at an extremely fast speed which may make jumping to a parallel rail a bit tricky.
- There are rock formations in this stage that resemble the Jack o' Lantern rock formations in the Pumpkin Hill stage of Sonic Adventure 2. There are also a few formations that resemble witches' hats.
