Some days you just don’t know how your plans are going to work out. Well, today’s plans beat all expectations!
We hiked Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch…both are amazing slot canyons in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area. To reach the trailhead of Wire Pass you drive 8.3 miles on a dirt road. Wire pass starts out hiking through Coyote Wash and after about a mile you enter the most colorful slot canyon. Halfway through the pass there is a wooden ladder that drops about 10 feet. Wire Pass opens into the high walls with petroglyphs and meets up with Buckskin Gulch, a 16 mile slot canyon (reported to be the longest slot in the world).
We hiked 5.2 miles of these canyons today and it was simply breathtaking.
Note: All photos are untouched iPhone photos!!! Videos are GoPro and one shot with DJI mini 2 drone.
Tomorrow we spend the day on Kayaks in Lake Powell.
Awesome beauty and you guys captured it so well on the video! Have fun on the kayaks today!!
The colors were crazy! A beautiful day!
I hate to say I’m jealous, but I’m jealous!!! Ha! I”ve always been mesmerized by photos of slot canyons and have always wanted to explore them. Glad you are getting to do it! Great shots! Love the colors and textures of them all.
