Intimate Small Group Full-Day Buckskin Gulch Hike with Lunch, Snacks & Drinks
Head on a guided adventure through the longest slot canyon in the world, the Buckskin Gulch! Drop into the middle of the remote canyon and find solitude as you explore the labyrinth of narrow passages, sandstone boulders and epic trails. Take in expansive views of the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, then make the steep deep descent where the sky peeks through a small slit between the rock walls. Spend hours exploring the canyon, see ancient writings left by Ancestral Puebloans and refuel with a hearty lunch – the perfect day for an active adventurer!
