Box Canyon (Colorado)
Box Canyon is a box canyon in Ouray County, Colorado, United States. It was founded as a mining camp and helped the city of Ouray establish itself as a permanent community. Box Canyon is home to Box Canyon Falls, a waterfall, with quartzite walls that extend almost one hundred feet past the falls. Access to the canyon is through a short, foot trail to the base of the falls or a steep trail leading to the top of the falls. A fee is required to use the trails to the canyon.
