Details

Join use for a hike into Box Canyon, the 11th large spring in the USA, and part of Thousand Springs State Park. At the bottom is a beautiful cascading waterfall. After the hike we will have some authentic Mexican food in Buhl then walk around the town a bit. I did the hike last year in March and really loved the cool blue green colors of the water and spring. Maybe this year we will have some fall colors too! This year we will change it up a bit and go clockwise.

The hike:
Distance: 4.3 miles, round trip loop.
Difficulty: moderate

Last minute sign-ups/cancellations:
I put a significant amount of time planning to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants. Please inform the organizer as soon as possible with any cancellations 3 pm before the meet up. No shows/no communication is unfair to others who are on the waitlist and makes planning difficult for the organizer. Please review our no-show policy. If you are sick, please stay home and hike with us another time. I reserve the right to take photos and videos of group members.

I understand that on this Outing there may not be rescue or medical facilities or expertise necessary to deal with the Injuries to which I may be exposed.
