The is over 13 miles long, often count in conjuncion with Paria Canyon, reaching more than 20 miles of Slot Canyon. A crossing can be done all the way to Lees Ferry, a 45 miles journey total.

There are 4 trailheads:
Wire Pass - The most used. It will take you right to action, to the prettiest part of Buckskin Gulch, is also a about 1.5 miles long

Buckskin Gulch - Despite having the canyon's name, it is less used due to a longer walk out of the canyon. Great option, if you have transportation option/arragements, exiting by Wire Pass

White House - This is more an emergency exit for people who is giving up on the long hike to , a lot longer and harder than the previous options

Lee's Ferry - This is most of the times the exit point from the 45 miles crossing

🥾8 miles out-and-back, anywhere from 6 to 10 hours. The is hard, many crossing and boulder climbing, be ready to have your feet wet does not matter how good your are. It is strenuous, start early and plan well

📍Left Fork trailhead on Kolob Terrace Rd

🐶 Negative, no pets allowed, only service animals (check about algae contamination)

🏜 This is one of the most amazing rock formations anywhere in the world, be prepared for a long hike trough a beautiful , with some little falls and rapids arriving at the destination, The Subway is a amazing tunnel formation with pools and a little carved on the rock

🚗 Great road to get to the , any vehicle will do the job

⚠️ ALERT 1: check about algae bloom contamination on the water, if that is the case, you will have to bring water for the whole , the algae cannot be filtered. That applies for animals, a service dog has died from getting into the water. So make sure what is water situation (that applies for many creeks in Zion)
⚠️ ALERT 2: that is a only hike, so you will have to apply for a permit on the permit cabin by the main visitor center or get it online on nps.gov . There is also a lottery for the summer months, so plan ahead

👟 2.3 miles out-and-back, about to hours for the whole trip. The itself is easy, but on the is always rough, be prepared for the heat

📍The Vortex on Lower Sand Cove Rd near

🐶 Positive, it is a pet friendly hike, the same care about the heat goes to your little buddy, check the floor temperature and keep him/her hydrated

🏜 This hike is gonna take trough a beautiful desert landscape, amazing rock formation and breathtaking views, is a formation at the end of the trail

🚗 A regular car will get there in dry days, I would recommend a 4x4 on wet weather, about 6 miles of dirt road

⚠️ ALERT 1: be prepared for the heat, bring plenty of water for you and you your mates, furry mates included! Sunscreen and sunglasses are a must
ALERT 2: stone staking has become a huge debate, you will find a “garden” of totems near the vortex, go there and stack yours, it is a place for it! Don’t do that anywhere else, you may get other hikers lost and will contaminate the landscape
