Description

Marvel at the beauty of Ouray's own wonder of the world, Box Canyon Falls. Doubling as a park, visitors can see the 285-foot waterfall as it plummets into a narrow quartzite canyon. Although dogs are prohibited with the park, pets are more than welcome on nearly all other trails at Ouray.

The 'Box Caon' Falls, Ouray's own wonder of the world, is the culmination of Canyon Creek narrowing and spilling thousands of gallons a minute of water over the falls. It is truly a dramatic scene, and one that you can enjoy from both above and below the falls.

The Falls Trail is a mostly level, easy, 500 foot walk into the canyon.The High Bridge Trail takes you up 200 feet in a half mile round trip hike. Along the trail are beautiful views of town and the high peaks of the Amphitheater Cirque.The Native Plant Loop is a short, easy stroll with river sounds, trees and shrubs, and plant markers to help identify local flora of the Box Caon. This is the only trail within the park that does not have steps.Wh
