Description

Located off the Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch Trail in south central Utah.

A sandy area with lots of sun and seclusion. Hikers walk along the canyon paths and hiking trails but not many hikers at any one time or in an area due to smaller parking lot sizes.

Rock is generally sandy but firm sandstone. Bring a brush to lightly brush sand off holds/routes.

Getting There

Located in Utah above the Arizona Border, access to the northern portion of the wilderness is via U.S. Highway 89, which passes within three miles of the area. U.S. 89A skirts the base of the Vermilion Cliffs on the south while access to the eastern portion is from route 89 in Lee's Ferry. Access on the west is the House Rock Valley Road (BLM Road 1065).
