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.

I went on a 5 day Paria River/Buckskin Gulch with my brother and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Tom and Todd are thoughtful, prepared and knowledgeable guides that made this a very enjoyable trip. Amazing food - check, cool side excursions - yup and a wicked good time had by all. I will be finding my way back to AZ to spend more time with them as soon as I can!

Nick is amazing guide. He was very patience and knowledgeable about the canyon. He never rush us on the hike and we had a lot of time to explore the canyon. Nick is very passionate about his job and loves being outdoors. I was glad I went to Buckskin canyon instead of the Antelope valley canyon. It was less crowded and you almost had the canyon to yourself.

We are a group of four seniors who wanted to experience hiking in a slot canyon. We found the perfect guide who was considerate, knowledgeable, and who paid attention to every detail of our day hike experience. This was a difficult hike for us, but thanks to Tom we made it through safely and were so very proud of our success in completing the hike. At no time were we rushed, and Tom made sure we were safe at all times. We also enjoyed his explanation of the natural beauty and things native to the area. We were lucky enough to find an excellent tour company, Backcountry Found, but even more important was owner-guide who helped us create an exceptional experience.

I'm really glad you all were able to see Buckskin. Thanks for the fun day and I hope you've been showing off your 'battle scars'. :)
