Box Canyon Falls, Colorado
In and around Ouray, United States
Southwest Colorado has many beautiful sights and Box Canyon Falls is one of them.
At Ouray Colorado, Box Canyon Falls is a little gem (little by Colorado standards). Nothing in the small car park and entrance building prepares you for the dramatic view ahead. As you walk toward the falls you can hear the sound of crashing water. There is a sturdy steel walkway which takes you around a corner and right into the middle of the canyon.Above you can see the footbridge which spans the top of the canyon. It is about three flights down to the river (slightly dizzy making as the steel grid is open mesh) .. look ahead ; don’t look down is my advice.
The river drops within the jagged rocks so there is only a relatively short bit that looks like a traditional waterfall, but this is really a fascinating sight. Twisted steel and the occasional steel cable hint at the history of industrial works on this site.
