Box Canyon in Island Park is a rugged, forested gorge where the canyon walls frame fast water and seasonal waterfalls. Late-spring snowmelt and autumn color create dramatic texture and depth. Daylight works well all year; expect cool, damp shade in the canyon. Free access from public pullouts/trails; parking is limited, so arrive early on weekends.
