Access Issue: Private Property/Skin or Hike Approach Details

Continued access to Box Canyon is at the pleasure of the private landowner. Please...no dogs, no defecating in canyon. Pack it out. Pack it all out.

The best single book for Maple Canyon Ice Climbs is Jason Stevens' Maple Canyon Ice Climbing, available at area specialty equipment shops (or perhaps from him directly if you contact him on this site). Read it, especially his section on vehicular access issues.

All of the climbs in Maple Canyon absolutely require snow to provide moisture for the melt/freeze which forms these climbs, so snow-covered roads are pretty much a given. Plan to hike or skin up the road. It's a nice warm-up for the climbing, and will alleviate a lot of opportunities for a headache.

Description

Located approximately 1.5 miles up the canyon from the parking pullout, take the south side where the canyon forks into three distinct canyons.

Getting There

Park at the Maple Canyon pullout at the mouth of the canyon. Hike or ski up the main road (passing Box Canyon on your right and much ice on your left), until you arrive at the convergence of three distinct canyons. Turning left, continue in a southerly direction, keeping an eye out for the flows.
