With it's easy access, and short length, the Main Fork of Twin Corral Box is a great outing for those looking to squeeze one more adventure in during an afternoon. Alternatively, the canyon is a pretty good family adventure in an interesting slot. The short section after the exit is a little spicy to reverse, but unique and well worth the effort.

Update 10/15/2014
Several people have commented that floods have changed the sand levels, added more debris, and made it tighter/more difficult. Not recommended for beginners. Expect a physical day squeezing, climbing, and chimneying to get through some of the constrictions.
