Box Canyon Creek - FS 4930

Trail Overview

Box Canyon Road, Forest Service Road 4930 in Washington, is a rugged mountain drive that offers both challenge and reward for off-road explorers. The road surface varies between hard-packed dirt and stretches of loose rock, with occasional ruts and washboards that keep drivers engaged. In wet weather, sections can become slick and muddy, adding to the technical feel of the route. Narrow spots along the canyon walls demand careful navigation, but the views are worth every bit of the effort. As you make your way along the trail, the scenery opens to sweeping views of the Box Canyon area, with steep basalt cliffs and dense stands of evergreens framing the route. Seasonal waterfalls and creeks spill through the rocky terrain, making spring and early summer especially scenic. Wildlife sightings are common, from deer crossing the road to birds of prey riding the canyon winds. For those who enjoy a slower pace, there are pull-offs along the way that invite you to stop, take in the landscape, and enjoy the sound of rushing water echoing through the canyon. Box Canyon Road is a true backcountry experience, rewarding drivers with dramatic scenery, solitude, and a sense of discovery that makes it a standout trail in Washington's forest network.
