    Hiking

    There's a gap there about 2 meters high, which you'll only be able to manage if you're a really fit climber! Otherwise, just take the bypass, which is MUCH easier.

    Hiking

    This short drainage canyon connects to the much longer Buckskin Gulch Canyon, which saves hikers miles of hiking through less exciting sections of Buckskin just to get access to the more exciting parts.

    Wire Pass has sections that are less than three feet wide. Due to Wire Pass's shorter canyon walls, the sunlight illuminates the sandstone walls more fully. Sometimes the sunlight can reach the floor of the canyon, which can create a reflection effect, making for some really cool photographs.
