Buckskin Gulch is considered the longest and deepest slot canyon in the Southwest US (and possibly the world!) at over 13 miles long and up to 500 feet deep. It’s absolutely incredible! In this video we're sharing our experience hiking the beautiful Wire Pass Trail to Buckskin Gulch, including a few important things to know before you go and where to grab a solid post-hike meal!
Big safety PSA for enjoying slot canyons: Always make sure to check the weather for the surrounding area before entering a slot canyon. They can flood very quickly if it rains, even miles away.

NOTE: The ladder we show in this video is now washed out due to a flash flood. There is now a rope and a tree trunk to help you get down or you can detour around this section.

FYI, as of end of October 2021, the ladder at 2:25 was washed out and is now located about a 1/4 mile down from the Wire Pass/Buckskin confluence wedged up about 30 feet above the canyon floor (which says a lot about how deep and dangerous flash floods in slot canyons can be). There is now a rope and a tree trunk at the scramble to help you get up/down. You also have the option of detouring around that section of slot.

I hiked and camped in Paria canyon in 1987 - probably before you two were born! I thought that was a different slot canyon than Buckskin Gulch, but the arch at the 5:30 mark in your video looks exactly like one I have in a photo, so maybe it was the same trail. I remember those wooden ladders and the logs jammed between the canyon walls 25 feet overhead. Glad you were spared any flash floods! Back then I think we had the entire canyon to ourselves. Camping overnight was a special treat - the bats come out at dusk.
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад
Adam may have been a month old haha (November 1987 baby!). This hike is located in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area (as well as also Grand Staircase-Escalante), so it very well was the same one! The log jams up above were insane! A big reminder that water still gets VERY high in there! Camping out there would've been so so cool!

@@AdventuresofAplusK I'm glad you showed the petroglyphs. I don't know why I don't have photos of those - have plenty of sandstone rock textures, they look like rope or layers of cake frosting. I was there in June 1987 but remember it like it was last week. We also did Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, Monument Valley, Marble Canyon and the North Rim of the GC. Thanks for letting me relive my adventures - I can't want to go back to Utah now. Still trying for The Wave…

My wife and I were at Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch on March 19. I suspect days after you. For those not able to get Wave permits, consider South Coyote Buttes permit lottery. Only 11 people came for the that lottery (held just after Wave lottery) and 10 people per day may hike there. DO NOT DO South Coyote Buttes without a high clearance 4X4 or you will more certainly get stuck in HIGH sand without cell service. They recommend you bring 3 days of food and water just in case. If you have these things... IT WAS WORTH IT AND FANTASTIC! Also ate at the Rockin V. It was so so.

Took a trip out west last summer. One day we were going to spend time at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, but there were wildfires there. We decided to do this trail instead. It was amazing. The smoke from the wildfire gave the sky a yellowish tint and made the experience surreal, but also very beautiful. The ladder down is a nice addition. When we visited, there was no ladder.

Definite bucket list item for me. I would love to attempt a backpacking trip to hike the entire gulch to Lees Ferry. We were there with the golden ticket this past August. I wanted to add this on but the recent reviews stated the ladder was no longer present, so I didn’t even consider it. The area had some significant flash flood events over the summer. We didn’t go to Rockin’ V but I will give a plug for the Wild Thyme Cafe.

glad you showed the different stages from maps to roads, etc...I think you maybe just made it to Buckskin at that big opening and you could have turned right or left, left looks to be even more amazing ...a few more miles
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад
The first big opening after Wire Pass is where it connects with Buckskin and you can go left or right, but we heard going to the right, like we did, for the rest of the hike is more slot canyon-like, while the left is a bit more open, but we can’t speak to the left since we didn’t go that way.

This part of the US is SO awesome, especially if you love the outdoors! I grew up near Phoenix for my first 8 years and sometimes wish my family had stayed there so I could've hiked more (but then I wouldn't have met Adam!). We did an Arizona trip, including Sedona, back in 2018. Here are those videos: ru-vid.com/group/PLZKRTK1yCEM4fjn3KAt9kM4wmlYFClSiq (we did Sedona in the 1st and 2nd videos)

Awesome video, as always! Two questions: (a) Does Kathryn ever DRIVE or is "A" as driver just the formula for the videos? (b) What footwear do you use for such hikes? I can't quite make out what you're wearing. Seems you'd need something sturdy. (Keep up the good work. I look forward to each week's new installment of A plus K.)
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад
Hahaha I don't drive much (I do know how to drive the van and have many times!) only because any time we are driving, I am editing a video, working my day job, or writing guides. So the deal is Adam drives, I crank out work. Hopefully one day our workload won't be so chaotic so I can drive more because I love to drive! For footwear, I wear Lowa Renegade hiking boots and Adam has Altra Superior trail running shoes. He prefers something less clunky than boots, but I love my boots because they are super water resistant and sturdy! Sometimes we wear hiking sandals (Chacos) if the terrain is appropriate for them.

Great video and hike. I'll be in Kanab in June 2021....thanks for all the suggestions. Question - The Garmin InReach mini.....do you connect it to your phone, or is its solely used for messaging and sending SOS (in case you need it)? Did your track show up on your Alltrails downloaded map without the Garmin?
@AdventuresofAplusK
@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад
Hi! We have the Garmin connected to our phone via their app, which is how we send out texts if needed. The SOS is on the actual Garmin though, behind a little “door” so you don’t risk setting it off accidentally (not sure if you can do this from the phone to be honest). And we have AllTrails Pro, so we download offline maps and it tracks even without cell service (no Garmin needed!). I hope that helps!

At 9:39 you show tat you are driving 1112 mph on the dirt road. When we drove our rental RV (C25) to West Grand Canyon we did the same. On the way back I drove faster and at a certain speed, which I forgot of course, it didn't feel so bad anymore. The shaking was much less plus the trip takes less time. You really have to find out the ideal speed for your car and the road you are on, but it's not always slower is better.
