Review Box Cañon Falls and Hot Springs Access Rules
Access to Box Cañon Falls and the Ouray Hot Springs Pool requires daily admission or specific passes; verify current seasonal hours on official city pages. While town access is open, high-country Jeep roads and hiking trails toward Yankee Boy Basin are seasonal and managed by the US Forest Service. Guided tour and accommodation reservations should be secured months in advance for summer and fall peaks, as systems for backcountry use are subject to change.
