About Box Canyon:

Box Canyon is home to some 25 sport routes ranging from 5.7 – 5.13+. The rock is limestone and is highly textured. Routes are generally slabby with some steeper lines in the .11–.13 range. Box Canyon is also a WSA and home to sensitive archeological sites. The local BLM has been generous enough to allow the routes to remain. Please tread lightly here and be courteous to others.

Directions: Take highway 33 to Howe, ID. Turn north at Simplot Farm and follow road to Box Canyon entrance – low clearance vehicles will want to park here. Routes are scattered throughout the canyon.
