The hike from Buckskin trailhead to the Paria River is 16.3 miles one-way and takes six to eight or more hours. Carry enough water to last until you reach the mouth of Buckskin Gulch. You've probably seen photos of these wonderful ridges, but not directions on how to reach them. The area, just south of Wire Pass, has been divided into Coyote North and Coyote South with a limit of 10 people per day in each. The fragile sandstone can break if climbed on, so it's important to stay on existing hiking routes and wear soft-soled footwear.
Lightning storms occur most often in late summer but can appear at any time of year.
Hikers also need to carry water and keep an eye out for rattlesnakes. BLM staff can advise on road conditions. You can reach Coyote North from the Notch Access, about two miles south of Wire Pass Trailhead.
