buckskin gulch

In 2014 we loved our Wire Pass - Buckskin - Paria - Lee's Ferry trip. We couldn't resist the opportunity to head back into Buckskin on this trip. We ended up coming from Upper Buckskin and found that to be very beautiful. It was in the afternoon of our final day, and the late day sunlight and...

Sunday, December 28, 2014 On Sunday morning we drove over to the Wire Pass trailhead from our hotel in Page and arrived shortly after the sunrise. Our plan for today was to hike through Wire Pass and then down Buckskin Gulch for a few miles. Unfortunately, we would not be unable to go down...

Wire Pass to Lee's Ferry, we celebrated our jubilee "20 years of traveling in the USA" w/ this trip. This backpacking trip, was the first 4-day-trip, in our life. All my impressions to frame in words, is to hard for me. My English is like a back road, after a flash flood. I hope folks, you...

In May of this year, I went with my boys and a couple of other guys to see Buckskin Gulch. We had such a fun time and upon returning showed other family members the photos and shared the experience with them. Well, I had others in the family who wanted to see it as well, so we planned another...

It has taken me a while to put this trip report together. Back on May 25th, I took my boys along with my brother-in-law and my nephew to Buckskin Gulch. My brother-in-law has just moved out here from North Carolina and I figured I would show him some of Utah. We headed down on the 24th and...

This is my favorite photo from my trip I loved this canyon. Growing up in Kanab left me always knowing about and always wanting to go through Buckskin Gulch and I finally did! The original plan for the trip was planned 3 months ago with my brother and brother-in-laws...within the last week...

This is Part 2. Part 1 can be found here. Day 3 (2nd day in the Buckskin): We got up and ate breakfast and then started the hike back down to the Buckskin. I was already dreading the slog back up that miserable sandy hill to camp... But soon forgot about that as we dropped back into the gulch...

This is Part 1. Part 2 is here In 2008 Antlerking invited me on my first trip down to the Paria with him and his friend Justin. During that trip I hiked Wire Pass. When I rounded a corner and the whole canyon was glowing it took my breath away and I knew I had to come back! Then again, in...

(Fair warning: this trip report is long and a bit pretentious) Quivering, the calf muscles strained. Toes groped, making the muscle fibers contract and release. The sticky rubber-wrapped toe caps on the shoes surrounding those feet scraped along, seeking any little edge or knob upon which...

Back in June my friend Sam sends me an email with the subject line of “Lets do this in October” and the email contained the following link http://climb-utah.com/Escalante/buckskin.htm 20 minutes later I replied with “I’m game” and that got the ball rolling on our trip down Buckskin Gulch. The...
