My girls and I booked this trip back in January but due to a flash flood the night before our trip, buckskin and wire pass were closed. Our guide, Brand, asked us if we wanted to go the middle route instead. We said yes, not knowing it was a class 3 & 4 hike. It was incredible. Brand talked to us about all the history and showed us petroglyphs along the way. We had to go down a very steep descent into the gulch and being afraid of heights, I was terrified. Brand was so patient and helped me navigate down and back up. The gulch had water in it due to the flash flood but that made it even more incredible. Brand was a fantastic guide and I would request him again and recommend him to anyone needing a guide.
