- A month ago, while hiking out from the West Entrance Trailhead toward Laurel Fork Creek, I looked down a hole about 3 feet in diameter and saw an hour glass shaped arch. Seeing it from below the cliff line I was on top of kept creeping into my thoughts for the next several weeks.
Fast forward to a morning in mid February on a return trip… A “slide” to the bottom was found nearby to get to the bottom and it was amazing almost immediately! Looking back up through the hole revealed there were several smaller arches almost stacked on top of each other. And that was only the beginning! Waterfalls, arches, and all kinds of other features were everywhere! Our footprints were the only ones underneath the protected from the weather rockhouses. It truly was an awesome day! So, of course, there’ll be a return trip!
The rocks in this place is amazing 😊😊😊
You’re absolutely right about that Eventyrsoren. I only suspected a waterfall at the end of the box canyon after topographical map study. I had no clue as to all the other waterfalls and rock formations! It turned into an amazing day for sure! There’s another potential waterfall we didn’t have time to get to! Another hike in there is on my list.
Thank you my friend. Stay healthy, be safe and take care.
So many cool waterfalls. Thanks for taking us along.
I only hoped for the one waterfall at the head of the box canyon. I saw the drop in the stream on a topographical map and figured it had to be a nice one. Everything else, except for the arch in the hole was totally unexpected. There’s another drop in a different stream we didn’t have time to locate! That means another trip is on my list!
Thanks John. Take care, stay safe and healthy.
That was an awesome day you had there my friend!
Another awesome adventure!! Beautiful country!! I hope to get there to see it soon.
Thanks Scott. You really should come and see BSF for yourself. She’s amazing!
If you need anything all you have to do is ask! I’m always happy to help!
Take care, stay healthy and be safe!
Wow that bluff line was much more interesting than i imagined. Finding a way down so close to where we stood was great. Dang it is a jungle down there 😁
It wasn’t very hard at all to get down from the top, as long as you stay on your rear end! 😂 Gotta go back ya know!
Wow! Thays an amazing spot! It's definitely time to get back to BSF. Great video!
Any time is a good time to be in BSF! I especially love the winter hiking. We call it the “off-trail season” That’s when things like we found on this day are located. There weren’t even any human footprints underneath the rock shelters! I love it!
Do come on back and explore more BSF for yourself. She won’t let you down!
Take care William, stay healthy and be safe.
Such a marvelous area to explore! Incredible to see the effects of erosion!! Well, now, one could really give themselves a great shower there...pass the shampoo and soap please! lol Awesome day!!
Yes, there were plenty of places to take a nice shower! ..lol.. and I needed one at the end of this day!
I really had little idea what was around there. I saw the potential for the waterfall at the end of the box canyon by studying topo maps but everything else was a surprise! Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong when hiking up any of the drainages in this area.
Thanks a million Bruce! Hopefully Spring will come earlier than expected for you guys! Take care and be safe!
Amazing! I’ll have to try this one when it warms up. West entrance trailhead towards bandy creek?
Yep, just after the BSF entrance sign coming in from the west.
We didn’t even get to everything we were looking for either. I’ll be going back there pretty soon. There’s just amazing features everywhere you turn!
Thank you JayandLin17. I appreciate it!
Please take care and keep safe.
