Private Buckskin Gulch Tour

Overview

There are as many metaphors to describe what locals call 'down in the Buckskin' as there are people who have been there. I choose the word 'in' because you are literally inside the walls of the world's longest slot canyon.

According to the Bureau of Land Management ('BLM') website, Buckskin Gulch is 16 miles long (around 26 km) from the Buckskin Trailhead to the Paria Canyon and over 500 feet (around 150m) deep at its confluence with the Paria River. There are places in the Buckskin where you are able to touch both canyon walls at the same time.

Buckskin Gulch is a photographer's and hiker's Mecca. Every corner you turn is changing continuously; the cliffs are water-and-wind-sculpted patterns of colors, light and shadows. You may also marvel and puzzle at the meanings of the rock writings (petroglyphs) from the early Archaic period (some are as old as 9,000 years).

It was voted one the top 10 hikes in the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine a few years back.

Hands down, the best guided tour/hike we've had ever. Hunter was a natural in this landscape and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. He's excellent with children and made their experience as fun as ours. The heat made the hike back to the car challenging for our girls (9 and 11). Honestly, it was tough for the parents also. Hunter was prepared. He was patient and thoughtful as they needed breaks and a spritz from his spray bottle. I highly recommend this company and this hike. Make sure you take PLENTY of water. We had two 24oz water bottles a piece and an extra gallon of water and used it all.

Guyermo took excellent care of us and was so informative. He made our experience very personal. Our family made a new friend.
