Gila Lower Box Canyon WSA
Published on 2024-05-13 08:20:06
An oasis in the desert, the Gila Lower Box WSA is located in southwestern New Mexico about 20 miles northwest of Lordsburg. The Gila River has cut a five mile-long steep-walled canyon 600 feet deep in some areas, creating the "Lower Box." The pristine canyon is heavily vegetated with riparian species such as ash, cottonwood, Arizona sycamore, and willow.
