Growth | Buckskin Gulch
Buckskin Gulch, located in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness area, is the longest and deepest slot canyon in United States and possibly the world.
Marked by their sinuous carved rock, typically sandstone, slot canyons are often formed through water erosion over long periods of time. Flash floods are what make these strikingly beautiful canyons also some of the most dangerous to hike, with the runoff from a storm ten miles away potentially leading to the canyon on a day with clear skies.
The plant growth on the side of this canyon is a unique sight. Small amounts of water and sunlight find their way through to allow these plants to absorb enough energy to sustain them as they cling to the wall.
