This weekend, I ventured out to Box Canyon State Park- home to one of the largest springs in the country!! (the eleventh largest, to be exact)
The trailhead is found just beyond a small parking lot off the side of a farm road. After a short walk, the ground opens up before you to reveal the beautiful blue waters of the spring below. A little further down, there is a cable walk down into the canyon where the trail winds along the river bank, with occasional openings to access the water. Near the middle, there is a decent size waterfall that is partly blue, which was pretty neat. At the end of the trail, there is a wide open spring where the waters are much calmer. It was everything I could do not to dive in right then and there. (I'll definitely have to go back when the weather is a bit warmer). Definitely glad I made the trip out there!
How Neat Is That?!
