The Bucksin Gulch<\/a> is one of the deepest and longest Slot Canyons. The only way to visit is either a more day hiking tour\u00a0 or for day hikes through access from either Wirepass or Whitehouse Trailheads. To see the deeper and narrower sections I wanted to enter through Whitehouse trailhead. There the Paria River is accessible and leads after 7 miles to the Bucksin which merges here into Paria river. In June both streams have no water so hiking is possible. At the confluence I planed to go upstream in Bucksin Gulch for 2 miles. ngg_shortcode_0_placeholderIt was a long hike (total of 28km or 17 miles roundtrip).\u00a0I started at 6.30\u00a0am Utah time at the Whitehouse trailhead and reached at 10.15 am the confluence of\u00a0Bucksin into Paria, only there a little water was still present. Then I walked\u00a02 miles approx. upstream to the Boulder Jam location where I\u00a0had a break and then returned back to the carpark at the Whitehouse Trailhead where I was back at\u00a02.50 pm. I had kept a high pace to not walk\u00a0for very long in the hot june sun.\u00a0The first foto shows the Paria Slot Canyon and the second the Bucksin, both close to the Confluence.ngg_shortcode_1_placeholderngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/p>\n
