About

One of the longest and deepest slot canyons on the planet, Buckskin Gulch goes on for miles and rarely gets wider than 20 feet. Temperatures within the canyon are much cooler than the surrounding sunny red rocks. You can often encounter puddles of water you’ll need to wade through.

We are happy to pick you up wherever you are staying if it is local to Kanab. You will specify your pickup location when you book. If you are driving in for the day, then we will meet you at the Coral Cliffs Tours office in Kanab (address will be given to you).

More info

• Permit Needed? No. There is a $6.50/person BLM land use pass needed that we can obtain and add to your tour cost.
• Distance: ~3 mile roundtrip (just to Wire Pass and back) with Buckskin ~6 miles roundtrip (depends on how quickly you want to go through the canyon in time allotted).
• Difficulty: 4.5 / 5 ( 1 = easy 5 = very hard )
• Terrain: Sand, sandstone, flat, shaded, some elevation incline, 15 foot drop in one location you have to try to scramble over (sometimes there is a ladder) OR the guide will take you on an alternate route.
• Weather: It’s about 10 degrees cooler in the slot canyon so dress appropriately. Bring your own water for hiking.

What to bring

• Hiking shoes
• Weather appropriate clothing (we recommend wearing layers)
• Sun protection
• Your own water for hiking (we have extra for emergencies)
• A lunch/snacks (we have a cooler in our vehicle if needed)
