Scenic View/Photo Spot, Trailhead
Casting a looing shadow over the Josie Morris cabin, Box Canyon stands as a cooling refuge. The trail is fairly level and hikers will have stunning views on all sides of the craggy Weber sandstone from Split Mountain. This trail is excellent for families with children, even during the heat of the day.
Length: ½ mile round trip. Not a loop.
Level of Difficulty: Easy. The trail is gravel and even terrain for most of the hike.
Trailhead Location: End of the Cub Creek Road (Tour of Tilted Rocks Auto Tour) at Josie's Cabin, 10 miles east of the Quarry Visitor Center.
Your Safety: Be prepared for desert hiking. Take a hat, sunscreen, and water. Let someone know where you are going, and when to expect you back. Wear comfortable shoes, such as hiking or athletic shoes. Use caution near cliffs! Keep children and leashed pets close by.
