Description
Box Canyon is a fantastic area to explore! There are two ways to hike this: the first hike leads along the slot canyon on a series of stairs and metal walkways so you can get right up next to the waterfall. The second way leads high above the slot canyon to get views from the bridge. This is an incredibly unique area and one worth doing just about every time you are in Ouray.
