Located within the Paria Canyon-Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness and Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, the Buckskin Gulch is a southern Utah canyon and is one of the Paria River’s main tributaries. The gulch is the deepest and longest slot canyon within southwestern United States, and possibly the world’s longest slot canyon, making it a premier destination for slot canyon hikers. One of the country’s truly classic trails for hiking, the Buckskin Gulch (Video) meanders through a seemingly subterranean paradise. Visitors can attempt the hike as either a day trip or over the course of several days to hike the complete twenty miles.
