Me and Jeremiah Hiked to the Jemez Box.

The East Fork of the Jemez river is confined to a narrow box canyon for a portion of its course near the Valle Caldera. The canyon is accessible from Trail 137 off of NM 4. The hike down to the river is a spur off the main trail that descends about 400 feet. Much of the descent is made easy by the addition of wooden steps. Be sure to bring some shoes that you don’t mind getting wet since wading the river is the best way to get to the double falls upstream from where the trail spur intersects the river.
