The Gila Lower Box is a canyon cut through by the Gila River. There is no "Gila Upper Box"; the "lower" in the name is to distinguish it from the Gila Box in Graham Co., Arizona, which is, however, downstream at lower elevation.

Overlooking the Gila River from the westernmost of the two Gila Lower Box overlooks, looking northeast, 4/9/06.
