NR8445 - Box Canyon

In the Newberry / Rodman Mountain BLM sub region of the southern California Mojave Desert lies this hidden gem named Box Canyon. Some have even called this trail the "Grand Canyon Of The Rodmans" for its straight up and down canyon walls that are several hundred feet high in some sections. The walls were created in part of an ancient lava flow that cut through this region thousands of years ago. Be aware that temperatures typically exceed 100 plus degrees in the summer months however the high canyon walls of Box Canyon can provide a safe haven of shade during the morning or late afternoon hours to cool off.
