about east of Kanab and about northwest of Page. Restrooms are available at this trailhead. Lee's Ferry In addition to the more direct routes to Buckskin Gulch, it can also be reached through Paria Canyon/Paria River at the Lee's Ferry. Lees Ferry, which can only be reached from US 89 A, is about northeast along Lee's Ferry Road in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The US 89 A turnoff for Lee's Ferry Road is just west of the Navajo Bridge and about east – southeast of Kanab and about southwest of Page. Restrooms and water are available at this trailhead. Regulations Permits are required for overnight backpacking as well as day hiking in Buckskin Gulch and the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Permits can be obtained from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) online. Only twenty overnight permits per day are allowed, and group sizes are limited to ten persons. The overnight fee is $5.00 per person per day, while day-use permits are $6.00 per person per day. There is also a $6.00 fee per dog per day. Due to the canyon's popularity, permits typically sell out several months in advance. Campfires are prohibited, and human waste cannot be buried and must be packed out in order to preserve the pristine condition of the area. Hazards Hiking Buckskin Gulch is extremely challenging. While generally one does not need rappelling equipment in Wire Pass or Buckskin Gulch, there may be a few pour-offs, the necessity to wade in ankle-to chest-high water, and/or mud. The lack of sunlight in the canyon can make it much colder than the surrounding exposed desert. At one point along the route, there is a drop-off that usually has rope. Small areas of quicksand can also be found along the route. Slot canyons are particularly dangerous due to the risk of flash floods. Storms more than away can send walls of water down the narrow canyons, and hikers have been killed in such events.
