Thanks for the heads up. I called my contact at NOAA in Salt Lake this morning and he said flash flooding on Saturday and remnants on Sunday but it will move out for the most part on Monday and will...

The original trip start date has now been changed to Saturday, 7th instead of Friday, (tomorrow) due to flash floods in the area. We will now be shuttled to Wirepass TH on Sunday from Lee's Ferry...

Looks like I might have a last minute drop out on my Buckskin Gulch/Paria canyoneering trip. If any of you climbers/backpackers out there that can pack by this Thursday night, you are in. This...

Thanks for the tips, Ken

Sounds like you had a somewhat successful hike. If you want to try it again on my trip I still have one permit left.

Congratulations on dodging the rain.

I feel your pain. I hope we have better luck in May.

Or you can hike up Paria from the Whitehouse CG to the confluence, camp, and go up Buckskin as far as you can go as a day hike. Nice thing about Whitehouse is the Ranger station is only a couple...

Watch the Pacific for any storms brewing. That's where I went wrong last year and got rained out. I would like to read your report when you get back. Be Safe and have fun!

Would you buy clothing specifically designed and marketed to canyoneers? Not really.
What features would be important for you to see or have in such clothing? Rip and mud proof

I had permits last year to enter at Wirepass but weather prevented us from entering. We ended up camping at Whitehouse and waited for the Paria to recede so we could go upstream, camp at the...

I still have two permits!

Can anyone suggest an area of Utah with slots to travel to in case rain hits the Bryce/Buckskin area of Utah in May? Last year when my group tried to do Buckskin/Paria we were rained out. My plan...

I have two permits available (out of 6) for a couple of experienced canyoneers that wish to join me and my group. The dates are May 6th (FRI) through May 15 (Sun), possibly the 14th. I would like to...

I print mine at home, too but if I picked it up at 7:30am and was warned of possible afternoon storms, I am pretty sure I would want to head straight to the canyon, get in and get out before noon....

I guess people have a difficult time changing their agenda. I got 5 permits to enter Buckskin June 7th. June is hot but also one of the driest months. June 2015 turned out to be one of the wettest. I...

Since I spoke with the Paria Ranger today, guess I will answer my own questions since I have over 100 views with no replies.

1. The issued permit entry and/or exit can be changed and extra days...

I have a few questions that I'm sure some of you experts and probably answer for me.


1. Does anyone know how difficult is it to change the Exit of a Buckskin permit?

2. Any suggestions...

One more question: How many overnights/days should I request a permit for that will allow time to explore some of the side canyons and not rush through?

Thank you. I plan to shoot for a June 1st permit.

Thanks for the great advice and web links. Think I'll shoot for a June 1st date.

Would like to plan a Paria/Buckskin backpack. Was thinking during spring break (last full weekend of March) but not sure that is the best month. What I mean by best is what month has less thunder...

Thanks all. My husband decided he would be the one to sit out. I had a permit for the rest of us. Somehow I clicked 4 instead of 5 when I applied. They dont do walk ins on Subway unless someone...

Anyone know what the fine is to do the subway without a permit?

Thanks for all the tips. We do have one person in the group that has done the Subway several years ago so we won't be totally green. As the group organizer, I personally feel the need to be as...

I plan to apply for a Subway permit in mid-June and have a few questions. I have read in two places that a 60' rope is needed and in another article a 100' rope is necessary. Which is it? I noticed...
