Box Canyon Dispersed

Pretty sandy - would recommend 4wd but i suspect you could get in without. got my jeep deep into the canyon between coachella weekends and was the only person there.

This is ideally a good spot, but the sand is way too deep to get far enough off of the road.

Shear cliffs that are heavily eroded. Very distinct layers of floods. Nice hikes up thin canyons. Cons; very easy to get stuck Very loose sand. Great boondocking spot at the bottom of the canyon at the turn off to the painted cliffs.

We had a great time. The kids did some exploring. Found a Geocache… we had two foxes come and visit the campsite (or at least they got really close. It was still warm during the day here in late November. Recommend for the adventurous!

this is a dispersed location on box canyon in Mecca. the road is loose sand and is possible by most vehicles as long as you stay on the road. after driving a few minutes you come into the canyon and there are a few places to pull off and set up camp. there are no amenities and no trash cans so pack in/pack out. the area is pretty quiet but can be extremely hot in the summer so I wouldn't reccomend it other than winter. there is a lot of hiking but make sure to have a map as it's very easy to get lost. my favorite is the ladder canyon hike which has you climb up a series of ladders in the canyon. most of the time they are well maintained and replaced if they are falling apart but beware just in case.
