The sight of this awesome waterfall, shooting with tremendous force out of Box Canyon came as a complete surprise. When we saw the sign ‘Box Canyon Falls’ I had envisioned a pastoral waterfall…not this towering, roaring, slot canyon spill of water.
While we were down at the bottom, which is reached by a series of metal stairs, a hailstorm hit hard, the bits of ice clanging on the steps and pounding us. We stepped into the cave like area at the bottom to wait it out. You could see the waterfall increase in force and the water turn a muddy brown as the rain and hail filled the stream above us. It was a riveting sight…to see this force of nature unleashed.
