After seeing the photos from John and Monica's recent hike at Box Canyon State Park, George and I decided to check it out. We were glad we did.
The canyon is beautiful and the hike just strenuous enough to be fun! It was quite a climb down but well worth the effort.
There is a lot of water coming down that box canyon. Underground springs??? I'm not sure.
At the bottom was a delightful swimming spot. Notice the people are social distancing Idaho style! I'd like to come back in the summer with John's family and swim.
We made a big loop and actually hiked up a road to get back to the top. It wasn't quite as pretty as the hike down but was a lot easier and a lot less crowded!
I needed a water and peanut M&Ms break before the climb!
The road goes to the right with one switchback and then a long climb to the top.
George and I did amazingly well! I think we could have made it to the top without even stopping! But we did stop for a couple of photos!
It was a perfect day.
