  • We hiked the entire Paria Canyon to the confluence at Buckskin Gulch for an enjoyable 15 miles of hiking in this amazing slot canyon. We were there near the end of June, 2020. The canyon is located in Southern Utah.

    FANTASTIC.......I did the exact adventure in June 2007 on a 100+ degree day. I needed at least another liter of water so I was dragging by the time I got back to the car. So glad you stuck with it to the Confluence. Buckskin Gulch is 15, impossible to turn around, miles. I have made at least 6 trips in from the northern trailhead. Two specific memories.....seeing that monster of a rock slab that slid into the river (you have it in the video) and marveling at the confluence and listening to a raven flying/swooshing back and forth reverberating off the walls.

    • @AmericasParks

    I did that same hike a few years ago. When I got to Buckskin I went right and hiked a couple of miles to a big rock fall. If you go left at the confluence, Paria Canyon goes all the way to Lees Ferry. On my next trip out I want to hike Buckskin starting at the Wire Pass Trailhead. You should do some videos in the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument. It has more slot canyons than anyplace else on earth.

    • @AmericasParks

      That was great stuff, Mike! Like you, I absolutely love that place. Would really enjoy doing that 3-4 days camping trip through Buckskin. So incredible!

Excellent video, and I also was impressed by the foliage and trees past the confluence. THANK YOU for taking us along on this hike, this is such a joy to watch, especially since this is no longer something I can master, and you make me feel like I am hiking with a friend! . . . Mike

    Another great video! I visited this slot canyon a little earlier on in June this year on a trip out west. Thing is, we were supposed to go to the Grand Canyon that day, but the wildfire started two days prior, so we ended up doing this instead (starting from the opposite direction). It is such a cool area. The smoke from the fire was dimming the sun and really made it a very surreal setting. Something I will never forget. Thank you for refreshing those memories.

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Nathan, so thankful the video brought back some fond memories for you! Enjoy reading about other's unique and personal experiences. My wife and I were in S. Utah for a week and this was one of the highlights of our trip too.

  • @steveblankenship5474
    @steveblankenship5474 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome that you did a video there. I hiked in there alone in October 1995 (I left right for Arizona after for the OJ trial). There were no permits in those days and just maybe one or two signs at the parking lot which if I remember they just did that parking lot about that time. Very few people, I did come across more water back then and it was cold. Wonderful and unforgettable place to go.

Your hike made me realize I could probably still do it; that canyon along with "The Wave" and the Toadstools would complete maybe complete my bucket list there. That certainly was a nice couple you teamed up with! Kudos & Thanks!

    Hello America's Park's😊😊! Was this the planned trip to Rainbow Bridge that didn't happen because of covid? Paria Canyon looks so SPECTACULAR and only just a few people with new friendships. I had heard about Paria Canyon the last time I was in Page,AZ but instead went to...Rainbow Bridge National Monument😊😊, and the Narrows, my absolute favorite slot canyon in Zion National Park. After watching this video I will I will definitely get a permit and hike Paria Canyon, and you and family should finally take the boat ride to...Rainbow Bridge National Monument😊😊! Great video Randy, I really enjoyed it and looking forward to the next one.

    Did this hike with 5 buddies. We continued another 30ish miles to wire pass where the Colorado river meets. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen I just couldn't believe my eyes around every bend. I'm having a hard time imagining what our next trip should be. I want there to be that same awe inspiring experience mixed with some fun stuff to goof off with. Any advice? we don't want to be around a lot of people and we're also climbers so anything in that realm would be welcomed. I'm thinking Iceland right now.

    • @AmericasParks

      Great to hear you've experienced this gem, Jesse! You guys did the full adventure. I pretty much stay in the US, heard from many Iceland is incredible! Another must-see is the Grand Canyon. Also some great stuff up in Glacier NP. Backcountry in Yosemite?

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, really think (when the river is not flowing) that a mountain bike would be ideal. Not much water at the end, but I think enough flow for filtering. Have a super Thanksgiving!

  • @TomSpurlock
    @TomSpurlock 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful scenery. Nice you made it to the confluence, Buckskin Gulch. The map looks like a 9mi hike to Buckskin Gulch, but then it's another 23 miles past Buckskin if you want to make it all the way to the Colorado river where water is flowing year round. All of that canyon terrain looked ridable on a mountain bike. Maybe need to walk the bike in the soft stuff a little, but mostly looks ridable with fat tires. Do they allow bicycles in the canyon? Did you see "no mountain bike" signs?

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great stuff, Tom! Not sure about the mountain bikes, but no signs noticed and when the river was dry, definitely doable imo. Sure would love to spend the 3-4 day hiking through Buckskin! Take care!

    I was in Southern Utah a few weeks ago, a very beautiful place. We unfortunately had some rain and snow which made it difficult to travel on the dirt roads leading to the slot canyons. The BLM visitor center was advising no driving on most of the dirt roads. We tried anway, and got stuck in some deep sand and had to get towed out. We didn't get to hike the slot canyon like we were hoping, but we got to see lots of other great scenery such as the Grand Canyon North rim, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Pink Coral Sand Dunes, lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam, and Horseshoe Bend. Lots of things to see in the area, next time I want to see a slot canyon

    Wow Randy, that’s for taking us along on your journey. What a beautiful area, especially once you made it to the confluence with those towering canyon walls. Just plain spectacular! I don’t have much to add on this one. It’s an area I know about and have done some initial research, but it’s an area that I haven’t ventured. A definite add to my ever-growing list of places to explore. Did you try for Coyote Buttes North (The Wave) permits while you were in the area? I have tried almost every month for over three years with the online lottery to no avail. I know the odds are greatly increased for the in-person lottery . Guess a multi-day vacation stop in this area may be in-store for the future and hope for the best.

    • @AmericasParks
      @AmericasParks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @MichaelYoungblood1
      @MichaelYoungblood1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AmericasParks yeah that online lottery is astoundingly competitive. Back when the lottery was run through the BLM website you could see how many entries were selected for a given day. Even during low-season and mid-week there was still 300-400 entries per day. During peak season, it could be several thousand entries per day. So your odds are low to begin with for the online lottery but they are lowered even further by the hard quota of 10 individuals. For all I know my entry could have been selected but my group size went over the 10 person limit and they had to move onto the next winner. If I never win it won’t be for lack of trying.
