Buckskin Gulch Day Hike

Overview

EXPERIENCE A DEEP, REMOTE SLOT CANYON. Buckskin Gulch is the longest slot canyon in the world, slicing through the beautiful Navajo sandstone in southern Utah. Enjoy an intimate adventure in an incredible slot canyon without the mass of crowds that are encountered at Zions or Antelope Canyon. We'll be dropping into the very middle of this remote canyon, bypassing a long hike at the beginning, and exploring the labyrinth at a leisurely pace all to ourselves.

This hike is not for anyone with a strong fear of heights and requires a steep Class 3 scramble into the slot (you'll be using your hands). This is a physically demanding hike of a minimum distance of 4 miles and a max of 10 miles. Recent rain events may require hiking through mud and wading through pools of water. Conditions inside the slot canyon change continuously, so bring an adventurous and positive attitude. Entry into the canyon is allowed only if safe from flash flood danger.

We booked this guided hike even though we are experienced hikers who would rarely consider needing a guide and we were so happy we had Tom to guide us. We were the only 2 people in the group (and we only saw 8 other people during the entire hike). Tom knew just how much to talk to us to provide geological, nature and historical information while making sure we didn't miss a good viewing point; while allowing time for quiet reflection on the amazing wonders we experienced. He brought a wonderful lunch spread which we shared on a rock in the gulch. I was a little worried about the downclimb into the middle of the gulch, due to a fear of heights. Turns out that it's tiered, so that you never look straight down more than about 20 feet, so my fears were not triggered. The climb up was a little tricky for my short legs, but Tom was there to help. We are still talking about this to everyone who will listen! BEST DECISION OF THE TRIP - to book this tour.

Absolutely amazing! Wagner was a great guide and full of knowledge. We had the entire hike to ourselves, which was so peaceful and humbling. I recommend this hike, and will probably do it again next time I’m in the area!

This was an amazing trip and the highlight of our vacation. Tom was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and the hike itself. It is a challenging hike getting down into the gulch but once we were in it we did not see another person all day!
