The 0.25-mile (out and back) Box Canyon Trail leads into a shady box canyon that's great for exploring with the kids, especially on hot summer days. Here you'll find great views of the rugged Weber Sandstone of Split Mountain. Josie Morris, whose cabin is located at the trailhead, used to herd her cattle in Box Canyon. Remember to stay on the trails at all times as there is poison ivy in the canyon.
