Videos like this are great - but are the reason people underestimate Buckskin Gulch. Also, everything up to the Petroglyphs was Wire Pass, which is beautiful, but not Buckskin. After that was Buckskin Gulch, but a small portion of it, and at it's driest. (Which doesn't mean it's safe). Last week (Oct 20-22) it was an entirely different canyon. A wet fall season, and a flash flood on the 18th, made it nearly impassable - and a dangerous prospect for unprepared hikers. 50° water, hundreds of wet crossings, often waist to chest deep, sometimes over our heads. Now is not the time to explore Buckskin unless you have a guide, and are prepared to be wet and cold for multiple days. It's always beautiful in Buckskin - but not always safe. Be careful, talk to experts, stay safe, and above all, if it's raining anywhere within 100 miles, don't go in without consulting a professional that knows the area.
Lots of research should go into any hike, and why we chose the time of year we did. Made for an enjoyable hike. Good info though to always check the weather. Something we definitely recommended and would encourage everyone to look into and going to the visitor center to gain info before considering this hike.
Great video!!!
Thank you! Really appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a great day. It also looked like you were pretty proficient with the boat. The waterfalls were beautiful.
It was a great day. Haha took some practice. Such a big boat. Lots of practice parking it
I’d say this is better than antelope canyon
I think so. Bigger, cheaper, less packed.
Also bummed that there was a trail of horse poop but no horses
Seriously lol. I kept expecting a horse!
