Box Canyon State Park

Davidson L. Haworth

Once you see the box canyon and the cool looking hot springs with lunch plants you have seen it all. Should take ten minutes. You can't go down into the gorge unfortunately.

This is a must if you are passing by. Deferential be ready to hike down and around the canyon to the left. The totally hike is about 30 to 45 mins depending on the speed you are hiking it. We did it with a baby and 4 other kids. Good shoe is definitely recommended. Pack lightly, towel, water and a little snack, unless you spending a whole day there which you can.

This was a gorgeous hike. The descent is tricky at times but rails have been set up to help and the views are worth it. While I do recommend taking kids, make sure they're wearing decent gear and have good balance and hiking experience. Several spots are great for water access but there's an especially nice shallow beach at the end of the canyon trail before it turns into an access road. Stop and swim or enjoy watching the fish from the shade! We recommend going back up the canyon the same way you go down to get to the water; it's slower and narrower but there's shade, water views, and green unlike the dirt, scrub, and gravel of the access road. Park fee is $7 unless you have an Idaho Parks Pass.

Wonderful hike. Beautiful canyon and a 20ft waterfall. In the winter sections of the trail can be really really muddy so wear good boots. The hike down into the canyon was a little sketchy as there was mud and ice when we went earlier in the day, but if you're an avid hiker like us it's not a problem at all. The trail does loop around if you don't want to hike back out through the canyon. The only disappointment was how much trash I saw down there. Remember to pack in, pack out. My husband and I had a trash bag and tried to take more out than we brought. I reccomended others do the same and we clean the hike up to help keep it beautiful!
