Like much of Southern California, Box Springs will transform into vibrant rolling green hills after a good rain. The best times to climb are in the winter and spring. While Box Springs is quite accessible, it is surprisingly not heavily impacted by trash and graffiti in most spots. The hills also host trails for hiking, biking, and donkeys. DO NOT FEED THE DONKEYS The donkeys are endless. They are wild animals. While not native, they exist in abundance. Do not feed or approach the donkeys. If anything, try to discourage them from becoming familiar with humans. There will be donkey poop everywhere. If you're climbing in Box Springs, be prepared. Park at official sanctioned parking lots, not along the street or at any spot not designated as park parking. Keep a low profile and respect the residents of the Belvedere Heights neighborhood.
