Description

Down in the depths of Grand Canyon, along the Bright Angel Creek, lies one of the most notorious sections of the corridor trails. Called "The Box" for the walls towering over the trail, enclosing the hiker in a narrow passage of granite and schist, this section of trail is dangerously hot in the summer. The blackened stone radiates heat like a blast furnace, often exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. Spend a Minute Out In It in a section of The Box, and remember to cool off in the creek often!
