Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots!. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Hiking Outside of Zion
We had a private hiking tour that deviated from the original Viator plan. I think this can be challenging for local tour companies that contract with Viator. That said, our guide Becca was amazing and we hiked Yellow Rock in Cottonwood Canyon by ourselves without seeing another hiker. This was a welcome change from our Zion base which is always crowded in summer. We also did some beautiful slot canyon hiking that was included in our day. Took two hours to drive to Kanab Utah for this hike. This was part of Grand Staircase Escalante.
Response from the operator: Glad you had a great time with Becca on out Alt Wave tour. That tour has many options and we discussed options with you, but welcome guest suggestions and feedback that would be the best fit for your group. Thanks for touring with us!

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zion National Park.
How much does Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots! cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zion National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots! take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zion National Park is not rushed.
Is Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zion National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots!?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zion National Park can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zion National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buckskin Gulch and Wire Pass Hike - A Full Day of Amazing Slots! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zion National Park within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zion National Park?
+
Zion trips centre on the Narrows and Angels Landing, canyoneering in slot canyons, e-bike rides along the scenic drive and Bryce Canyon combination days. Permit handling and gear rental inclusions are the biggest quality differences here. On Outty we rank every Zion National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Award Winning UTV Slot Canyon Tour, East Zion 4 Hour Slot Canyon Canyoneering UTV Tour, East Zion Crimson Canyon Hike & UTV Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zion National Park?
+
April to May and September to October. Summer means early starts. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zion National Park?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
