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.

Amazing hike with Wagner Kelley as our guide. It was myself and my 2 teenage kids (15 and 18). Wagner called me 2 days before to go over the meet time, place, and any preparations needed. He met us early at 6:30am due to the predicted heat of the day of 108 degrees. He drove us to the trailhead in his van. What an amazing hike! Wagner immediately began talking to us about the native americans cultures, the geography, the plant life. He was so knowledgeable. Our descent into the canyon was so cool. What a gorgeous hike with spectacular formations, petroglyphs. He had packed a delicious lunch for us and allowed us to go at our own pace- never pushing. The ascent out of the canyon was more difficult for me because the rocks were so hot! Once out he was very patient with us and took it slowly finding multiple shade stops because it was 105 degrees when we hiked the last mile back to the van. All together we put in about 6 miles. At the van he had drinks and watermelon in a cooler. We only saw 2 other people on the hike so it was like we had the place to ourselves. I felt safe the whole time with our guide's experience and knowledge of the terrain. 100% satisfied and what an incredible day. My kids loved it too! Highly recommend if you are up for an adventure.

Highly recommend booking the Buckskin Gulch Day Hike! Absolutely gorgeous walking through the gulch. Our guide, Marci from Backcountry Found, was very knowledgeable and pointed out several different sights/features along the hike. Backcountry Found made all the arrangements (getting permits, providing transportation, packing snacks and lunch, etc). All we had to do was be ready for a fun adventure! Thank you Marci for guiding us on an amazing hike!

Class 3 scramble down/up. 10 miles total. 27,000 steps. Coolest thing - by far - we’ve ever done. It wasn’t easy. But it was so so worth it. Thank you Tom and Backcountry Found for the adventure of a lifetime.
