Box Canyon Trail, Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico
DIRECTIONS: Trail begins at Long House, passes the upper irrigation pod and follows the Yeso Canyon stream to the end. A rock fall in recent years blocked the path at the upper end, so you need to climb over the rocks to get to the basin at the end.
CAUTION: Flash floods!
The Box Canyon Trail is the most accessible trail for the majority of Ghost Ranch visitors.
This trail is pretty level and provides some shade along your trek.
My wife and I are Philadelphians. Hiking The Box Canyon Trail at Ghost Ranch was a rare opportunity for us to share a sense of family with our wonderful niece in New Mexico.
