There are also stairs to near bottom of the waterfall. The high bridge trail is much more challenging, although one can opt to only climb the stair portion for a better view of Ouray and a little cardio. At the top of the stairs there is a small shelter, if you're feeling the altitude at this point it's a good idea not to continue further, as the trail continues to climb and there are no stairs/structure. There is a cable above the trail in sections for stability, and cables below some sections for safety. I'd guess the top of the stairs is a little less than half way to the high bridge. The bridge is a very sturdy structure, over a steep narrow gorge, the views of Box Cañon, the creek, waterfall, and town below are breathtaking. There is a hallway-like tunnel on the far side of the bridge, which is part of the perimeter trail. It's low in some spots but walkable, and offers some shade and cooling after the climb. The trail was drub when we went, it would be significantly more challenging/difficult with any moisture or icy conditions.

I had an awesome time visiting box canyon waterfall while in Ouray! I came with my husband and…read moretoddler children. They absolutely loved it! Great for all ages. The waterfall was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. It was super loud inside of the canon which made it all the more exciting. Check out both the lower and upper box canon falls trails. The lower falls trail gets very close to the waterfall, we were getting wet from the spray we were so close. The upper trail has a great view of Ouray and a fun bridge to cross that leads into a tunnel. It is $7 for each adult, but super seniors, military, and children under 4 are free! No dogs allowed in the park. I don't think the dogs would want to come anyway with the metal bridges and aggressively loud waterfall. If you are in Ouray in the summertime this needs to be on your itinerary!

We enjoyed a morning of zipping, stopped for a provided delicious sweet treat and water, then continued zipping until the gourmet lunch!

The naturalist (Celia) really taught us all things about our environment but made it fun! GO HERE!!!!

We were checked in by a friendly lady who offered me a Veteran's discount. FWIW, currently, the prices charged seemed higher than those on the website, but lower than other soaking options. We brought our own towels and found a lounge chair to hold them. There are several pools and I was surprised to learn the lap pool is not geothermal water--cool city water there. The first pool was 88 degrees and designed for kids. Too chilly for me, but my son spent most of his time here playing water basketball and swimming around. Second pool was in the mid-90s and felt much better to me. I was also able to enjoy the 102 degree (about my threshold for being "hot") adults-only pool. Watching the pools and surrounding peaks as the sun set was awesome. Very nice. About these things were were stoked. We were not stoked to learn upon checkin that the slides had closed at 6pm, along with the activity pool. This info apparently relies on word of mouth--not their website--to know in advance. We'd have come the next morning had we known. Boo. Lame, even. With kids, this place is a winner if arriving well before the slides close. 6pm. You heard it here. Adults only? There are several better options nearby. 3.5 stars

This beautiful and well-marked wooded trail ends with a waterfall and an unbeatable view of the town of Telluride. The hike is 2.5 miles one way to the Falls, with an elevation gain of 1,050 feet. You should plan between 1 hour and 1 hour 1/2 from the trailhead to the falls depending on your pace. 5 miles round trip, so it's perfect to start the day!

The views from the parking lot were super cool! The hike itself was fairly mild with several awesome waterfalls along the way. Although the hike to the top was only a tad over 1 mile and didn't have very high elevation gain, it took us a bit longer than expected -- relatively narrow, rocky trail that requires some attention to footing. Highly recommend some rain gear to get closer to the falls when you get to the top!

Everything went excellent…read more Number 1 reason why I will always use this ATV rental company. Been using for years, this time a new and important feature was added. They have Real-Time GPS location devices. So if you hit a rock and blow a tire or other equipment disabling issue, press a button and they show up. Any medical emergency, press the emergency button.. They know right where you are at. Remember, little cell coverage on the trail. I known it works because the device button got bumped... and Justin showed up... asked him how he found us, he explained the location services. Outstanding! I apologized and explained I don't know how it got activated... ... he said "no problem, we just want to insure our customers are OK!'. Service, equipment, value... all outstanding.

I have never ridden on or driven an ATV before today and I have to tell you- this was by far one of…read morethe most fun and beautiful things I have ever done! I will cherish the memories made today with my family and friends forever. We rented full day, 0800-1700, Polaris RZRs. There were 6 of us- 2 families of 3. We got in a little late, around 10am due to staying in Montrose the night before. They have to shuttle you up to the beginning of the trail due to a change in law from November 2021. They don't allow ATV/OHV use in town. So, it takes 15 min to get up to the area where you will get your ATV and be fitted for a helmet. Bring rain gear, hoodies, hat, sunscreen, charger for your phone or battery pack. The lunch provided was very good and we did bring more water and snacks. Recommend you do the same also. Since we left late, we had to rush a bit and not stop and see as much as we wanted but this did NOT deter from the sheer awesomeness of the trip. It is beautiful. I cannot convince you of this from photos or a video. You have to see if for yourself. The drive is bumpy. It is fun. It is on the edge of very tall mountains. I made my family scared by my driving- I guess I drive too fast and too close to the edge. I had so much fun! There are bathrooms along the way if needed. We found the maps useful. We did not use our phone map with the app at all. We probably should have- but there are signs and it is pretty easy. Staff explained it all before we left. Take Alpine loop to Animas Fork- see the ghost town- go to Cinnamon Pass and take that to Lake City. Drive through Lake City and follow sign to Engineer Pass. At the top of Engineer Pass- look ahead of where you going and you will see the trial go off to the right. This is Odom Point- you MUST MAKE TIME to stop there. It is the best view! People get married there and I see why. Then follow the trail back. We got rained on on the way back and it was COLD on the hot summer day. My hands got so cold I couldn't feel them. I also got soaked and covered in mud. I had so much fun but would have been happier if I had listened to my husband and brought rain gear. Rock Pirate employees were so helpful and nice and we are so grateful for all their help and advice. I would highly recommend them for any adventure! I cannot wait to do this again and would love to come back for a snowy experience in Silverton with them!

He thought our party had come through there before & caused a lot of problems, when my husband assured him that was not us he didn't seem to care or believe him and continued being rude. (This was a repeat trip for only 3 of the 14) The website says gas is included yet we were charged over $300 for a "gas charge" when the final bill came out, in years past, my husband said this never happened. There was no communication as to why we were charged this excess fee & when my husband asked to talk to Erik who he had worked with in years past, Tom refused to let him speak to him. I called to speak with Erik and was told he would call me back, he never did. Our 4 machines were returned with gas, they didn't have to drive to us with gas cans. The tires on the machines were worn but 1 machine in particular was very worn. We got a flat on the top of a mountain but thankfully there were some kind people who gave us a plug & aired us back up so we could get on our way. We got a 2nd flat (same bald tire) as we neared Rock Pirate & pushed the helping hands button, we waited but after 45 minutes the majority of us decided to head into town with the other 3 machines thinking we'd pass our "help" on the way but never did. The teens working were nowhere in sight but eventually did come out from behind the shop but didn't know anything about our call for assistance. They never got it. Hmmmm.....Eventually they finally headed out to get my husband. If you want a pleasant up front experience from employees that treat you with kindness & respect, honest workers that don't charge you because they feel like it, I would steer clear of this place! Customer Service lacks & so does their integrity.
