“Rare Birds and Billions of Years of Geology”
Box Cañon Falls, Ouray's own wonder of the world, is the culmination of Canyon Creek narrowing and spilling thousands of gallons a minute of water over the falls. At this most spectacular geological formation, the 285-foot waterfall plummets into a narrow quartzite canyon. The narrow rock walls tower over the falls by nearly 100 feet!

Short gradual hike to the base of the falls, after paying the city entrance fee. The water is falling within a slot so you hear more than see the waterfall. Beautiful but steep hike up from the parking lot to the bridge overlooking the falls. There you see the creek coming down the hill and then disappearing. There is also a short trail identifying some of the trees. Took us about an hour to see it all.
