About this place
A moderate hike that follows Pine Creek, a tributary of the Escalante River, through a lush steep-walled canyon. The trail descends through mixed conifer and into Ponderosa pines. Many stream crossings are required. Lower Box Access: From Escalante, turn north on the Hells Backbone Road (300 E). At 0.7 miles, the road will fork, stay right. After 3.5 miles, the road will turn to dirt and is now called Forest Road 153 (FR 153). At 7.4 miles, turn right at the sign "Lower Box Access" and park in the large flat area on the right. Walk the dirt road to the trailhead.
