“A simple road used by local farmers that visitors can run on that leads to a section of singletrack below the falls.”

Description

The Box Canyon Springs Trail is mostly made up of an access road that takes pedestrians and bikers through cow pastures to eventually wrap around and down into the small gully below the springs. It's also a good option for seeing some of the sites without having to commit to the ladder climb at the top of the Box Canyon Springs Spur.

The road section ends at the bottom of the gully and the trail continues on a short section of singletrack that travels along the water and past boulders to below the falls. You'll pass a good spot to swim in the middle of summer if you're comfortable with crisp cold water. The area makes a nice spot to relax or explore for an afternoon.
