A short trail and suspended walkway take you right into the throat of Box Canyon where the creek crashes through. The cliffs are steep and the air is cold and damp even in summer. A small park fee covers the trail.

Good to know

  • Midday sun lights the canyon best
  • Small entry fee at the gate
  • Wear shoes with grip, the walkway is wet
