Box Canyon is a must-see with many hiking opportunities with various adventures. There are bird feeders and furry little creatures all around the visiting center.   At the start we followed the walkway up the mountain trail to a suspension bridge, we made our way around and down the cliff-side pathway, with views of cabins and evergreens layered down the side of the mountain, through a tunnel, and ended outside in the surrounding forests.   August 26th 2009
