    What an amazing experience going through the canyons ,a bit rough on the road driving into the…read moretrailhead due to flood damage so a 4x4 is way better ,once you arrive bathrooms are clean .

    Disclaimer please check Ranger stations and understand with any amount of rain whatsoever slot…read morecanyons can be dangerous and flash floods are deadly. It was dry when we went. I can't recommend this enough. If you want a rugged wonderlust adventure, skip antelope canyon and try this hike instead . On the way in we went up over the trail over the canyon and it was pretty rugged. On the way out we stayed in the river bed and there was a ladder and this was an easier route. If you want the easier route in just stay in the riverbed for the entire hike. When you finally reach the end of the wire pass and you meet the convergence of buckskin Gulch, hang a right. It is a "T" shape and you have to choose right or left. The left is a lot of black rock and not as dramatic view. The right has more oranges and reds and is more dramatic with lighting. We hiked approximately 45 minutes into buckskin Gulch and the views were absolutely breathtaking and dramatic. I think the lighting for awesome photos would be best from eight or 9 AM until maybe one or 2 PM. You can go as far as you want but eventually you might reach water puddles that you don't want to go through. We chose to hike two hours in to buckskin gulch and then come back out wire pass. Remember to get online and get your permit and write down the permit number and stick it in your windshield or you will get a ticket on your windshield. You can buy the wire Pass day pass on recreation.gov. I've already been to antelope Canyon and I was at Zion. Not overly thrilled with crowds and it feels very structured. If you want unstructured beauty and no crowds I would suggest this instead because it's just as beautiful and dramatic. A lot of the features that you would see at White pocket and other places you will find in small areas of this hike.
