Box Canyon Falls is where Canyon Creek cascades 85 feet into a narrow quartzite canyon surrounded by 100-foot walls. This developed park offers hiking trails, picnic areas, and a visitor center, which operates seasonally, closing in November. The park is also a significant bird area, recognized by the National Audubon Society for hosting Black Swifts, the largest swifts in North America, which migrate from Brazil each summer. Keep in mind that dogs are not allowed in the park.
