One of the longest and deepest slot canyons on the planet, Buckskin Gulch goes on for miles (about 24 miles if you just do Buckskin Gulch and not Wire Pass) and rarely gets wider than 20 feet. Don’t worry, we only do about the first 5-6 miles of Buckskin to give you a time appropriate experience. The sweeping movement of the canyon walls are breathtaking as you witness mother nature's masterpiece that has taken her millions of years to create. Temperatures within the canyon are much cooler than the surrounding sunny Red Rocks. Depending on how far in you go, you will often encounter puddles of water you’ll need to wade through. You would never be able to take in all of it’s incredible depth of beauty in one trip, but you can certainly try! Though it does require a permit, it isn’t a lottery permit, and our team can go and purchase it for you beforehand and then add it to your total cost.
