Box Cañon Falls Park

Discover the natural wonder of Box Cañon Falls Park in Ouray, Colorado, a must-see destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Experience the power of Box Canyon Falls on an easy, short 0.2-mile trail leading to breathtaking views of a 285-foot waterfall cascading within a dramatic box canyon. Navigate the suspended metal grate walkway for unique perspectives of the falls and the stunning geological formations. Don't miss the 0.1-mile Box Canyon Nature Trail for mountain views and insights into local flora, or combine your visit with the moderately challenging 0.3-mile High Bridge Trail for panoramic vistas of Ouray, Lower Cascade Falls, and Canyon Creek.

Plan your visit to Box Cañon Falls Park accordingly, as it operates seasonally, typically closed from November through March. Extended summer hours (Memorial Day to Labor Day) offer more time to explore all the park has to offer. An entrance fee is required ($7 for adults, $5 for children as of June 2024). Hike the High Bridge Trail, which includes steep stairs and rocky sections (hand-holds are provided), and consider the optional tunnel extension for a unique top-down view of Box Canyon Falls. The park provides ample parking, restrooms, and access to all three distinctive trails, making it a convenient and unforgettable experience.
