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.

This hiking experience was incredible. Our guides Tom and Todd did an outstanding job of guiding us into the gulch and providing a lot of interesting information along the way. Part of the trip involves navigation of a sandstone scramble that could have been very challenging without the proper guidance. Our guides got us down with ease. The gulch was extremely beautiful and we saw very few people during our few hours there. It made for fantastic photo opportunities. We were extremely happy that we decided to book this trip and without hesitation, would take another trip with the guides of Backcountry Found.

This was an incredible experience and only improved by the knowledge, expertise, patience and kindness displayed by Tom! Even better that not many hikers go through there so you get to connect with nature in an awesome way! Subliminal aspects like the sound of the wind picking up through the slot or the sun beaming through different spots, vegetation add to the imposing character of the slot! Thanks to the guides for facilitating this experience and memorializing the experience with the great photographs!
