1. Ouray Slot Canyon

We are now closed for the 2020 season.

Thanks for your support! We’ll see you next year.

Box Canyon Falls Park Website Directions: In Ouray the park is located at the west end of Third Avenue. If walking from Ouray, you need to walk up the dirt road at the end of Third Ave to enter the park, it is not far at all. Box Canyon Falls is a wonder. The waterfall pluges 285 feet through a narrow slot canyon with amazing force. Box Canyon Waterfall & Park: Cool Slot Canyon - See 1,209 traveler reviews, 592 candid photos, and great deals for Ouray, CO, at Tripadvisor. Canyoning (versus the more hiker-friendly canyoneering through dry slot canyons) is the preferred term for the sport of descending steep alpine canyons. The quality and variety of canyons found in mountains surrounding Ouray – from the family-friendly trip down Portland Creek to the 280-foot rappel down Cascade Falls – is staggering. Ouray Ice Park is a true gift to the world of ice climbing. Each winter, this slot canyon south of Ouray becomes a vertical, frozen playground. Gravity-fed water spigots along the rim of the canyon spray surplus water from the City of Ouray water supply during the night to create hundreds of diverse routes within a 1-mile stretch of Uncompahgre Gorge. Canyoning Colorado LLC operates under a Special Use Permit from the Uncompahgre National Forest. Canyoning Colorado LLC is an equal opportunity service provider. Due to the fact that we are working in a natural environment, we cannot guarantee the water levels will be identical to the photos and videos posted online or offline.
