Box-Death Hollow Wilderness

Vertical gray-orange walls of Navajo sandstone stand above two canyon tributaries of the Escalante River in Box-Death Hollow.

Death Hollow Creek, east of The Box, has carved its way through a gently dipping monocline.

Along the creek banks, you may see mule deer, an occasional cougar, or even elk in winter.

Nine miles of trail run the distance of "the Box", while hiking in the remainder of this wilderness requires following drainages or undesignated routes.

The ridge-top well sites and routes leading to them were cherry-stemmed out of the north side of the legislated boundary, but the project never went into production.
