Box Canyon Falls and High Bridge Trails

Nestled in the heart of the San Juan Skyway, one of America’s most scenic drives, the two trails to Box Canyon Falls offer equal impact. The cool, misty walk to the falls leads deep into a cleft in the canyon where Canyon Creek thunders 285 feet from the creek bed above. The sunny alternate hike offers grand views of the region as it leads to the top of the falls.
