You can pretty much figure out what to expect on this trail by reading the name. Box Canyon Trail is a short trail that journeys down into a small box canyon with a stream, canyon walls, small waterfalls, and even multiple swimming holes in the warmer months. It is easy to hop off the trail and do some scrambling down to the water, but use extreme caution if you decide to wander off the path since some of the canyon walls are literal cliffs.
