Buckskin Gulch

Finished posting photos from our week long adventure in Southern Utah. We hiked over 40 miles, including an overnight trek through Buckskin Gulch, one of the longest and deepest slot canyons in the US.

Buckskin Gulch was incredible and my first time doing an overnight backpacking hike. We camped for the night on a sand bar in with canyon walls all around us. It was spectacular. And I not only survived the miles of hiking, but thrived.

The entire trip made us want to return to this area of Southern Utah. There are other national parks to explore, more hikes to do, and more places to explore. It’s truly an awe inspiring landscape… a showcase for how water shapes the earth in crazy and beautiful ways. Itching to return when the weather cools down again and have more time off.
