A nice easy outing. Definitely don't plan on being alone. The approach trail has Large Bright Green paint footprints all the way up the slick rock to help your blood boil on the way to the arch and top of the canyon.

Ran with the Kevin's. Had the place to ourselves. Anchors are all intact. Cleaned out a little tat on the final rappel. The climber's exit was not nearly as bad as expected even in Chacos. 4 hrs car to car for group of 3 taking our time, adding some side trips to explore side canyons and convert arch.

Beautiful Canyon even with the hoards of tourists, trash and nearly constant smell of poop with white flags everywhere in the first 2 miles. Did a day hike 6 miles in and 6 miles out and even that was worth it. Would love to score some overnight permits. Saw very few people after 2 miles into Buckskin proper from Wire Pass Junction.

Took the family. Bone dry. Tons of trash and graffiti, especially in the upper section. Many of the etchings in the wall were dated 2021 which was a real bummer.

1hr 2min car to car for two moving quickly and with good climbing ability. Deeper and more beautiful than I was expecting! Worth hitting for sure for all abilities.

Over-land apprach took 5 of us 12 hrs car to car with a good long swim in the escalante while waiting for some longer shadows. Canyon was REALLY dry. Ankle deep for the first sacrificial leader and then everyone else can keep their feet nice and dry.

Down Egypt 2 and up Egypt 3 including the bottom technical section. The squeezing up canyon from the last technical section is the money slot. I can't say the technical section adds much more to the canyon and would probably just recommend heading down to the pretty arch and then turning around for the return trip. Bone dry except for a single pothole easily bridged across.

Down Egypt 2 and up 3 was the way to go. 300ftr is as simple as such a large rappel gets. Free hanging on occasion, but with ledges to weight your feet and add friction. Rest of the canyon is so-so.

Dry conditions. Great time. Sands shifted in the potholes for some extra challenges. 6 people car to car 15 hrs via hidden splendor.

Swimming even in the driest of conditions. Filthy fun water. Some fun downclimbs, or easy rappels depending on your skill level.

Dry conditions allowed for no wetsuit. Group of 5 took 11 hrs car to car taking our own sweet time and waiting in the bottom for the heat to subside.

Deepest was chest deep. No wetsuit needed, but certainly could be used for more enjoyment. 50min car to car.

DRY! We only got in water up to our ankles the entire canyon. Fun, and at times challenging down climbs.

Worth seeing once. Pretty, easy, and fun.

South Fork was fun. Recommend bypassing the first rappel. Great for first timers with competent leader.

Incredibly dry. The semi-keeper is really easy to surmount with some basic climbing ability. Took some beginners who didn't love it because of the tight and at times difficult climbing (especially up to the chock stone in the final tight section). SUPER CROWDED. Saw nearly 30 other people during the loop.

Dry as a bone until the spring. Only part worth seeing is the spring, but it is also quite the charmer!

Dry Canyon. Kolob Creek 3 cfs and stunning.

Dry. Hard. Fun. Rewarding.
