Had a 9 AM start for first time in the Paria Canyon, Wire Pass area. WOW! Took loads of pictures and stopped a lot to take in the views. Sun was lighting up the slot canyons so for this time of year the morning was better for pictures than on our way out. We hiked for about 2.5 hours from TH into Buckskin Gulch and turned around. On the way back we went into Buckskin Gulch for about 30 minutes and turned around...back to the convergence and out Wire Pass. See why most people go in Wire Pass rather than Buckskin. Plus it's longer. Got to be one of my favorite hikes! With wife Judy and hiking buddy Korina.
