Box Cañon Falls Park - Wildlife park in Ouray - 30 Box Canyon Rd, USA

Hiked in January, packed snowy trail, sturdy metal hand rails, and/or cables. Not too crowded, the views are amazing. Crews were completing some welding and maintenance on the final path on the lower trails leading to the falls, so viewing there was not spectacular. The upper high bridge is worth the steep climb.

Beautiful must-see area. We visit here every chance we get. We went in December this last visit, and it was a beautiful icy wonderland. Be careful in the winter, and please pack out your trash. There are a lot of stairs, but they are absolutely manageable. There are a couple of short hiking trails here to see the bridge above the falls, which is part of the Ouray Perimeter Trail and a nature trail that gives a little information about the plants in the area. The small nature trail is easy, but the one to the bridge requires a bit of climbing. This really is a beautiful treasure, and the falls are so loud. Fun for the whole family!

Out of this world amazing!! We visited this place in Dec. Snow and ice made this more of an out of this world experience! Not for the unprepared. Steep and slippery accents. Once you reach the Falls, be prepared to be completely awe struck!

There is a lot of climbing. Just take it slow because you will miss a lot of cool camera shots. Picture taking will give you a chance to catch your breath. There weren't too many people but busier than I expected. There are restrooms near the parking lot. You could end up at Box Canon for a good part of the day if you explore all the trails. We had other plans, so I will have to go back another time to see the other trails. I wish I had known there was more to discover, a head of time. Well worth the small amount you pay to see the whole Box Canon Falls Park.

You'll not believe once you get into the falls area how powerful the water is. Truly amazing. Hopefully on your visit, the gate is open so you can walk all the way back. If not, take the stairs down atleast. You can check out the falls from below and take in a little mist.

Loud waterfalls! Yeah. Keep in mind there are metals cages, walkways made of metal gratings, high bridges and a dark tunnel! Lots of fun. Happy people. Exhaularating in some places. Small wildlife, squirrels and chipmunks and some birds. Light rain in August 2023, price reasonable $7adults at time of this review.

This is a must see place, such power of nature and very beautiful. After visiting waterfall we sat in the park for a long time and watched the funny chipmunks and birds. There is a very nice museum, small but informative, An admission is only $7.

We went during December and trail is closed however you can find parking at bottom in town. Make sure you park way of traffic or you will be ticketed. It is a hike up to Box Canon Falls but worth it. No restrooms are opened and you are basically on your own. I highly recommend this falls. Also look for Box Canon sign light up on side of mountain at night.
