Description
The Box Canyon is a technical Class IV drop featuring a narrow, boulder-choked channel with a steep vertical descent and multiple mandatory moves between large, undercut rocks. Paddlers must navigate a tight, technical entrance with limited room for error, followed by a powerful waterfall that requires precise boat positioning and aggressive line selection to avoid potentially hazardous hydraulics and rock pins.
