I have heard that access to Box Canyon (Christopher Creek Gorge) is now closed due to highway construction activity. Can anyone confirm this? Any work on when this would reopen?
Thanks!!

Re: Box Canyon closed?
I was advised by the former District Ranger that it would be closed during construction and due to the highway construction there would not be a place to park. So access is going to be a problem.

Re: Box Canyon closed?
Considering all the rescues that take place in the box I guess now would be a good time for the local SAR team to take a vacation.

Re: Box Canyon closed?
There is all sorts of construction going on. They've fenced off the entrance area. There was a bit of parking a little ways down 260 but it's a royal mess. You might be able to do it, but could need to get creative.
