Land OwnerBLM
The most common and quickest way to access Buckskin Gulch. This path has a lot of sandy wash type walking as the slot gets deeper and drains into Buckskin Gulch. This can be combined with the upper end of Buckskin Gulch for a shorter loop than doing the entire Gulch.
Access Info
A $6 day use permits are required for this and other trails in the area.

RW385
One of my favorite slot canyons in Utah. It goes for a long distance and then terminates at a giant alcove with petroglyphs nearby. Continue up or down Buckskin. We did about a mile up Buckskin before reaching some knee deep water puddles.
