Great experience! - We were in Buckskin Gulch in September 2024 with Backcountry Found across the Middle Route. The tour was one of the top experiences of our four-week round trip in the Southwest. Unlike the mass-tourism Antelope Canyons, Buckskin Gulch is a great place to feel and enjoy nature and not just take some quick photos. The organization by Backcountry Found was perfect. Our guide Tabby deserves special praise. She was very competent, helpful and friendly.

Buckskin Gulch hike through the Middle Route - This tour was an unforgettable experience, and is a must do for every one looking to do adventurous activities in the largest slot canyon in the world. We went through the middle route, having to climb and descend rock formations, and walk in the water between the giant walls of sandstone. The guide Tabby is a super experienced hiker and we did 17 miles in approximately 6 hours! There was nobody down there too. The tour company also provides lunch, snacks and a pickup and drop off at Page. I really recommend it!

One of the best hikes - Buckskin Gulch is a really wild and magnificent place, so different from crowded Antelopes. We enjoyed a lot this hike even if it was a little tough for us, Thanks also to our great guide Alex.

Buckskin Gulch day Hike - Wow! My experience with Tom being my guide was great! He was responsive to my messages from day one. As a solo traveler, I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed it as much w/o Tom, he was knowledgeable and shared historic Info. He was very accommodating and held my dog Saiije when she seemed tired. We had great conversation and I felt safe. He captured great photos and brought a delicious healthy lunch. I intend on having tom as my guide for Grand Canyon in the future. Thank you for an amazing and memorable birthday!!

Nature at its best - highly recommended! - I highly recommend this experience. Buckskin Gulch is nature at its best - and with Tabby, our tour guide, we had such a knowledgeable and lovely tourguide to experience it with! Tabby was able to flex the tour due to my fear of heights, she took good care of us (1 adult, 2 teenagers) explaining the surroundings and natural phenomena we saw, made us a sweet lunch and we had chilled drinks and watermelon waiting for us at the end of this amazing hike. We loved Buckskin Gulch, and we loved Tabby!

Truly breathtaking! - It was truly an adventure we were looking for. Our guide, Tabatha Conteras, gave us energy, courage and strength that we would never think we would have to make this hike. She was strong, supportive and resourceful! We totally enjoyed it and, of course, absolutely recommend this trip (for experienced hikers!)

Amazing Views-No Crowds - The Buckskin Gulch day hike with Alex was amazing! I took my 17-year-old son who had no problems up and down the canyon wall, I on the other hand was nervous, but Alex was calm and guided me right through it without a scratch. The hike was great, and views were awesome. I would have to say the most strenuous part was the very end back to the vehicle, mostly because it was the hottest part of the day and it's a sandy uphill walk. I recommend to anyone in the area.

Experience of a lifetime - Had an incredible experience with Wagner and Shelby and another couple. The whole experience was amazing including the climbing down and back up the 100 foot face of rock to the culture and views of the gulch and slot. Some of the most spectacular views and history on the rock formations will ever experience. The guide made it special and enjoyable. You will also learn about the vegetation in the area. They will tell you to bring a lot of water and that is true statement. My wife and I brought 6 litters of water and definitely bring a backpack and snacks. The clothes you wear is key beginning with a hat, long sleeve shirt and pants. Bring extra if you want to wear less. Sunscreen a must. We’re 66 and 67 and made it through the day. Best experience ever.

One of my best hiking experience - It’s one of the best day hike I have done. I have done many many best day hikes in USA, even though this one is not on the list, it should be. It challenges me both mentally and physically, mostly because the climbing involved in this middle rout to hike Buckskin Gulch. It’s definitely class 4 climbing, but my guide, Tom, is spectacular in guiding me through this tough section. Tom is amazingly knowledgeable and pleasant. I enjoyed this hike tremendously. I don’t think you should try this yourself without a guide unless you are an experienced climber. It’s too risky
