Buckskin Gulch

DSC07919.jpg

Buckskin gulch is one of the longest slot canyons in North America and its one of the most stunning. Buckskin Gulch is 21 miles long and is typically done in an overnight trip it can be done in one day but you would need two cars because the trail does not loop so you will need to leave a car at the start or get dropped off. Same with the end you either need to leave another car or get picked up. It is a must that you check the forecast before entering any slot canyon getting caught in a flash flood is deadly you have no were to escape. If there is any chance of rain then entering a slot canyon is not recommended. The power of the water that could come rushing through these canyons would be unmatched.

Buckskin Gulch is truly one of the most spectacular slot canyons and a photographer's dream. The light in this slot canyon is truly spectacular. I couldn't put my camera down the whole time. The canyon walls towering above my head while the canyon walls narrowed around me was truly a sight to behold.

Would love to explore here one day

It looks like some alien terrain. Thanks for sharing!

21 miles long?? wow! I'd probably avoid it if I saw an clouds in the sky 😅

Is it all this narrow? As in 21 miles of felling like your on a scenery loop?

Interesting read, and somehow scary knowing you could be trapped in there. Beautiful colors in your photo's. Great work!

While these photos are gorgeous, I would have a lot of anxiety about going through these slot canyons, at least in the summer time with frequent summer storms! Have heard a few too many horror stories of people being swept away in floodwaters, so scary! But I'm happy you were able to experience this beauty and capture it for us!

I would be afraid to be there alone (it gives me that feeling that I will be trapped), however I would love to be there exploring and knowing the famous "waves" 😎❤️
