”A Box Canyon is a small ravine or canyon with steep walls on three sides, allowing access and egress only through the mouth of the canyon. Box canyons were frequently used in the American West as convenient corrals, with their entrances fenced. They were also used as kill sites for wild game, which could be driven into the confined space and killed.” - Wikipaedia
When exploring the Islington Bay Track we came across an interesting area – an easily accessible maze of canyons leading inland from near the coast. The canyon floor is comparatively wide and flat with a fine scoria base.
We have placed a cache at the far end of the box canyon where a natural tall thin wall divides the canyon in two. The cache is anchored and partially covered by a rock. When re-hiding please ensure it will be visible once at GZ.
The canyon and GZ must be accessed from the Islington Bay Track. It is not accessible from the road.
