    Tips

    August 24, 2023

    Buckskin Gulch is one of the most unique hikes in the world. The walk through this canyon's floor takes hikers through corridors that can be hundreds of feet deep while being no more than 10 feet wide. During certain parts of the year, hikers should expect pools of knee-deep water or extensive stretches of mud. There are some areas that may require climbing but not to the point of needing any specialized gear; just a few feet at most.

    Day-use permits are required for this hike. The permits cost $6 and can be purchased at the Bureau of Land Management Office in Kanab or they can be purchased online at recreation.gov. Hikers should note that cell service can be spotty at the trailhead, so purchase the permit before you drive out. Dogs can join in on the hike for an additional $6 per dog.
