May 17, 2016 Buckskin Gulch is one of the longest and deepest slot canyons on the planet—and it’s found just a ways outside Kanab, Utah. Over the course of 13 miles, it rarely gets wider than 20 feet, and in many sections it’s just wide enough to walk through with your pack. Utah is one of our favorite places for RV travel.Full of exotic, colorful rock formations, vast canyons, stunning views, friendly people and alpine forests, we have taken our truck and trailer all over the place and discovered that there is a little bit of everything we love in this state. We have so many blog posts from Utah that they are presented in three groups here.
This is a partial list of canyons in the U.S. state of Utah along with any rivers, roads, and other features (such as rail lines) that pass through them.
