Blueberry Box Canyon

This canyon is a drainage which drops down into the valley behind the Stawamus Chief. 2 stars at best, it is really only of interest as a canyon if you happen to be up on that ridge and looking for a fun way to get down. Although the views of the backside of the Chief are excellent.

Take the gondola to the top and walk down the access road until you are near the canyon, then follow the creek to the first rappel. If the gondola is not running, leave one car at the Stawamus Chief Campground parking lot, then drive up the Shannon FSR to the locked gate. Park at the gate and walk along the access road until you are close to the start of the canyon and enter the forest and follow the creek.

At high flow, this can be an unpleasant experience. At low flow it is relatively simple. All rappels are bolted other than the first one which is off a tree. Slippery rock and lots of difficult rope pulls.
