Utah trails · Buckskin Gulch Trail
A 11.9-mile out-and-back in Utah, with 682 ft of climbing. Reaches Buckskin Overlook. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
The climbing leans toward the first third: 47% of the ascent falls between mile 0.0 and mile 4.0. It gives back about 5,609 ft along the way, so it rolls rather than climbing steadily.
