Access Issue: Box Canyon is privately owned.
Details
The land at the mouth of Maple Canyon as well as along the road before the Forest Service sign is private property.
The landowners have asked that if you want to park or stay the night on their property that you give a donation of $8/night and $3/day. There are donation boxes.
You can also call to reserve a spot on the private property at 435.851.1486.
Please respect this private property and use the restrooms in the upper canyon for now. Note that car camping in day use parking spots is NOT allowed in the upper canyon on the Forest Service property.
Be respectful, no dogs, and leave the canyon when nature calls.
Description
Several decent but long neglected routes off a ledge above an easy slab approach pitch. Afternoon shade.
Getting There
Located on the West wall at the first big turn in the canyon. The Tennis Shoe Slab 5.4 leads up to a set of rappel anchors.
[Hide Comment] I don't think this area sees a lot of traffic anymore. The climbing is good but it's all a bit adventurous. It would make a great community service project if someone were to put in some belay/rap stations and a clip stick on the ledge at the base of these routes.
