Buckskin Gulch - more than mud meets the eye


Ten of us headed down just past Kanab to hike Buckskin Gulch. Paul, Lindsey, Scott, and Whitney hiked this trail before and never really told us what we were getting ourselves into. The hike was gorgeous but the mud, muck, and cesspools were totally disgusting and well worth it.

The science nerd in me loved the signs of weathering & erosion the whole time. I am currently teaching soils, weathering, and erosion in 4th grade science.

Lindsey's attempt of passing the mud hole without getting dirty...it was a loss cause after ten feet. Scott did try!



I love reaction on Scott's face as he walked through this cold mucky mud water.

After a wash in 6 inches of river water the night before and tasty breakfast burritos we were on the road again heading home.
