Trail to the historic Sid's Leap, where according to legend, Sid Swasey jumped his horse over the very narrow San Rafael River canyon. Primary access to the Lower Black Box slot canyon
Access Info
The "road" to get here is very rough in places, and there is little space to park or turn around at the gate, so no trailers.
Disclaimer
Wilderness Area! No mechanized travel (even though the trail is an old ATV doubletrack)! Hike or horse riding only.
