Buckskin gulch, Vermillon Cliffs, Az.

Buckskin Gulch is an area in Vermillon Cliffs, in North Arizona. We did this hike on a very nice day, it was around 90 degre temperature. Pretty hot. We got an incredible dark blue sky. But the most incredible was really the landscape, not very lush but stunning by the sandstone and the different tint and colors.
It was difficult to walk fast, beacause I wanted to photographed everything, and enjoy each different 'paysage', landscape, roch.




This hike is not a very difficult one, it takes about 3 hours to arrive to Paria/Wire Pass. It's very sandy, so you have to have good shoes to walk comfortably. and I really recommend you to wear pants! lots of spiny thistle, ouch!
After an hour, we just didn't pay to much attention but our legs looked like....hedgehog.

Before stopping for lunch we just took some time to take them off!




After a pretty long walk in the sun, we were really happy to reach the Paria Canyon and walked in the shade of the smooth beautiful rock.
It was slightly muddy, but nothing annoying.

This part of the hike was totally different from the beginning, and we like it as much!

We were happy to finally reach the crossing of paths, were we stop for lunch, and admired the petroglyphs




Petroglyphs were numerous in this area, include some more recent, with signature...










We didn't want to go back through the same way, so we took Wire Pass, which is much shorter, but again, amazing rocks and landscape!
This time, we even need to do some climbing because the paths between the canyon is extremely narrow, about shoulder width sometimes, and boulders are blocking the way. But nothing impossible!
Very pleasant hike.

And to finish the day we enjoyed our hotel, where we take some time enjoy the swimming pool and the Jacuzzi to relax our muscles, and be prepared for another hike the next day...

Vemillon Trip - Southwest- travel heart

Awesome trip in North Arizona! Vermillon Cliffs, north coyotte butte, the wave!
Talking about inspiration...wow! very few people there so we have been able to enjoy at the most.
And the south butte, well we were just our little group of 4! But I have to say that the wind was blowing at 35mph average....so rough condition, but stunning. Such a great trip!
