Buckskin Gulch is located in southern Utah and is the longest
and deepest slot canyon in the Southwest. It is considered by many people to be the best slot canyon to explore
with the walls in some places reaching a height of 500 feet. The canyon narrows for about 12 miles. We chose
to enter Buckskin by going through Wirepass Canyon, which ends at a confluence with Buckskin Gulch.
