Buckskin Gulch
The Buckskin Gulch via the Wire Pass trailhead is one of the more epic hikes I have ever done. This past Christmas marks the second time I’ve ventured into this, one of the worlds largest slot canyons. The canyon is part of the Coyote Buttes North region and The Wire Pass trailhead is the same trail for the world famous Wave hike. Both require permits. Buckskin is a day use permit and not part of the lottery system that controls hikes to The Wave.
If you are ever in this area, don’t miss this hike. It’s utterly astounding and amazing and full of photography. Check out this post from some photography suggestions if you plan to hike to take photos.
The Coveted Wave Hike
Actually getting a permit to hike to The Wave in Coyote Buttes is rather difficult.
It’s a much sought after spot. However, as fate would have it, you guessed, it, I was able to successfully get a permit to hike to the wave!
In today’s video, I’ll take you on the trail with me.
Number 22!
22 proves to be a good number after all. It was the number I wore in High School basketball…and it turned out to be the number that put me on a crash course with The Wave trail in Coyote Buttes.
