The Paria Box Trailhead provides access to a scenic 4.

88-mile round-trip hiking route along the Paria River through the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, featuring approximately a dozen shallow river crossings and colorful Cockscomb rock formations.

The minimally developed trail is free and open year-round with parking available at the trailhead, though there are no water or restroom facilities on-site.

The route follows the historic Old Spanish National Historic Trail (Armijo Route) and can be extended to visit the abandoned Paria townsite, first settled in 1870.
