Introduction
Spectacular hike along a majestic canyon that extends all the way to the Colorado river. Can be done as a one-way route (shuttle required) or as an out-and-back adventure.
Approach
Two main starting points exist. One from White House, the other from Wire Pass. White House is shorter and probably easier. Wire Pass is via Buckskin Gulch and adds miles, expect more obstacles. Both White House and Buckskin Gulch are narrow slot canyons. The map reflects the White House approach and the points of interest with mile markers reflect that starting point.
