Frisco Box is an easy, short hike on forest land in the Reserve Ranger District of Gila National Forest in southwest New Mexico. The route is about 3 miles long, with a low point around 6,439 feet and a high of about 6,525 feet. It's a natural-surface trail, and it is open year-round. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 75°F with lows near 28°F in April to highs around 76°F with lows near 33°F in October. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The trail is rated easy, and it works well for riders and pack animals. Bikes and horses are both allowed. Frisco Box Trail #762 lies about a mile away, and Warm Springs is about 1.3 miles off. Freeman Mountain and Dillion Mountain are both within about 5 miles.
