55. Hike Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch
In order to complete this hike you need to drive about 45 minutes on a reportedly rough road. Surprisingly, when you get to the actual trailhead there’s a nice, big parking lot. Permits are $6.00 per person at press time.
They can be purchased ahead of time, paid for online, or paid by scanning a barcode right there. You will need to complete a form that must be clearly displayed on your dashboard. The 5.6-mile out-and-back hike may take longer than you expect as the hiking trail typically has a lot of rocks on it.
As is often the case, the canyon itself is cooler and that makes it more comfortable for hiking. You can download the trail route on All Trails and even print it out if you are concerned about your signal. As often suggested, dress in layers and don’t hike there if rain is expected.
