After 9 Years, I finally return to the incredible Paria River Canyon in the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument of Utah/Arizona. The Paria River Canyon is a remote desert canyon that's also known for being the exit for the popular Buckskin Gulch. We entered the canyon at White House Trailhead and exited at Lee's Ferry. This trip requires permits and WAG bags for all human and dog waste.

Thx guys. My childhood playground. Grew up in Big Water. Graduated Page High in '85. There's more to it though!
As I am watching this, I find myself thinking for the very first time in my life, I want to go hiking in the desert.
Just say when! Just say when, my friend!
Same. Never had much interest, but that looks like a pretty cool canyon hike!
Oh man, as someone who drove through deserts bored to tears, I finally decided to go on a few hikes through southern Utah and it’s opened a completely new view on what the desert has to offer. Go out there!
You would love it. There’s nothing like hiking in the desert. Beautiful and mysterious
I have the same stove, I think, and you can avoid long flareups when starting it by being careful about how much fuel you let collect in the pan as the stove piping heats up. If you manage it correctly you can get things going quickly with less fuel lost and less risk of catching your face on fire.
Dang what an awesome trip. It was neat seeing the Raven and Owl going at it. You sure got me jonesing to get back and try to do this trip again in the near future. Love seeing those Petroglyphs!
Thanks man! The owl and ravens were absolutely a highlight of the trip. We sat for a good 20-30 minutes watching that unfold. Still not sure what they were "arguing" about, but it was awesome. Great Horned Owls are amazing birds, ravens too.
You absolutely need to make it happen!
Jason- Let’s meet up and hit this trail bro!
We did the same hike but in reverse years ago and my feet were SO cold. Should've had better footwear. With the green and flowing water in your video it looks deceptively warm, but then you see everyone huddled in big coats and get reminded of how cold it must have been. Looks fun.
Wow this place looks amazing!
😊😊
I’m very excited either way everything Insta360 is doing. The Ace Pro, x3 and the Go 3 are just amazing small devices for treks made perfect for this. I’m excited to have the money to upgrade my gear for my future hiking and camping videos.
The audio from the Ace Pro is really really good! What a vast weight reduction in camera gear compared to what is normally brought to produce these videos.
Yeah it's really great. When it's windy the camera doesn't do well, so I need to figure out some kind of muff to go over the mic. But the audio in this video is straight from the camera, no additional mic or post adjustments. You'll see in an upcoming video the downside of the camera in the wind though.
Still impressive, Devin. I am more inclined to get all 3 devices now more than ever. Such powerful tools for a fraction of the size and weight. And, I’ll still carry iPhone pro for a just as capable backup camera.
Thanks for bringing us along. What an excellent Trek, would have loved to hike this one. Great review also on the camera, you made a buy very tempting.
Truly an incredible place!
The Ace Pro is cool. Just made filming really simple.
@@BackcountryExposure I have found the river on Google Earth and the exit at the road, but where did you enter?
@@GubbePaaTur there’s two popular staring points. We started at the White House trailhead. But you can also start at Wire Pass. Wire pass takes you all the way down Buckskin Gulch and ends up being a 12 mile day for the first day.
You end at Lees Ferry.
Soo gorgeous! Need to get there for sure!
Yes you do!!!
What a special adventure, this looks stunning my friend! Absolutely stunning!
Impressive trip! Thanks for sharing!✌️
I did this when I was 11! Super fun easy hike cause it’s river grade and you get to swim. Almost dying when we jumped in at lees ferry was the hardest part of the trip!
Awesome video. Thank you
Can’t believe the size of their packs!😮
What a beautiful hike! Thanks for sharing…😊
They did awesome, and were also carrying a decent amount of group gear.
Amazing hike. Waved to you guys from the Window. One of these days I need to do the whole route.
Thanks, Jerry! The shuttle is a time suck, but doing the whole canyon is amazing! Now it’s my turn to work on Wave permits!
Catching up on this longer form video. Excellent storytelling and tastefully incorporating the sponsorship. I’m super curious about this university backpack guiding thing. Looks so rewarding for all involved.
Dude, thank you!
Yes, the guiding is massively rewarding and such a great opportunity to continue to learn from others who aren’t engrained in backpacking and see it from their perspective.
Love this area, stayed at day 1 camp a few years ago and didnt want to leave!
Nice! Several mice at that camp. I actually had one scurry right under my shoe going to hang my food that didn’t survive. 😬
I feel like I remember there being mice but I don't remember having an issue. (could have been due to the reduced traffic in 2020 and it was about 5 degrees in December). I also compare rodent experiences with my time at Mt Rainier, where mice/chipmunks ate an entire merino wool shirt of mine over night.
Great trip! Though 35 degrees out and walking in water is pushing it for me! That owl crow conflict was crazy! You guys had some really nice camp sites! The petroglyph panel you found was really sweet! Im excited for next weekend! Hopefully see you down there! 🏜️🥾
Great video, i like the longer content! I have two questions for you. 1) Did the students use the shared cooking system the whole trip, and did you do dehydrated meals? 2) How did the various water filters hold up to the silty water?
Awesome adventure. The Paria is an amazing area.
Thanks, Stacy!
Me being from Idaho I can’t see this unless I come down by you in Utah so seeing all this cool scenery is almost like forbidden fruit for me if you will. The desert is such a unique place. I can feel the temperature changed hardcore through the lens haha. Great video as always dude. Really look forward to the follow up more in depth gear video
As someone who lives in Saint George all my life, I still don’t know about all these good trails.
I’m always nervous to do desert trails when water is a concern. But this one looks fantastic.
If you ever want to hike signal peak (or anything else round Saint George, lemme know! I’d love to join you on a trip. I’m always going with people who are amateurs at backpacking. Even tho I feel like quite the amateur myself.
I have an Insta 360. They rule! I'm really interested in this model you used. Gonna keep it in mind.
I’ve also been using the X3, it’s a ton of fun! The Ace Pro has been fun too, and honestly a nice upgrade from my GoPro 10.
Great video
Thanks!
Devin this trip is absolutely stunning!!! Man I’m digging that insta camera dude and it’s priced well too! Hmmmm, I might have to look into it. Good stuff bro, always love your content brotha man. Happy trails! What mic are you using? The audio is actually decent.
Thanks for the trip video Devin. I had a cool video ideas while watching this. Bring an archaeologists on a trip where you know there are going to be some extensive petroglyphs to explain what we think the drawings are and represent. How was it trying to keep up with all the young ones?
Thanks! It was just simply awesome!
The group was awesome and we just had so much fun hanging out. 😊
What! I'm at 18:28 and super stoked for a crossover episode! I hope it pans out.
P.S. awesome coverage so far- gorgeous footage!
Thank you! Unfortunately we stayed 4-6 miles ahead of them the whole week, so we never actually crossed paths. I did see Eric's car parked next to our van in the parking lot though, and waved. :)
Nice. Looked like a fun trip. Nice to sit in a chair while filtering that small trickle of water 😂
Nicely done! Looks beautiful and I need to put that area on my list. See you have the REI Flash 55...thoughts?
Thanks! Yeah the Flash 55. It’s been an excellent pack. Gonna be working on a review soon.
@@BackcountryExposure Good deal, thanks. I've worn it and it is shockingly good except that I don't care for a top lid however, it can be removed. Not sure about their new Flash 50.
Dude this place looks insane! We will have to add this to our list. We really have yet to explore much of the United States.
It's seriously amazing!
That looks like an incredible hike. But 6 days using using wag bags! Oh dear…😬
Ha ha! Part of the game! 😂 it’s one of those things where your pack stays the same weight the entire trip. Ha!
I remember hearing the stories about your last trip in 2015. LOL
That trip was wild!
Great video as usual! I have the Insta360 Ace Pro. What are you using to mount your camera on your backpack?
It’s the backpack selfie stick mount from their accessories. 😁
Is that a new tent I'm spotting? 🧐🤣 Lower peak height on one side? Only a single entry? Beautiful scenery!
It’s a prototype from Outdoor Vitals. 😊
@@BackcountryExposure ooooh snap. Less than $600?
@@DaveOffGrid 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ I have no idea. It’s still early in development from the talks I’ve had with Brigham. But was able to give him a ton of feedback for changes.
What tent got used on this trip? Iv been saving up for a new one and it looks like what ive been looking for.
It’s a prototype tent I was testing from Outdoor Vitals. Not yet available.
Yay. I've been waiting for them to make an updated version with different material. Cant wait
No one mentioned one important business when you are in canyons and water and soft sand and not many higher ground spots. Do the backpackers carry wag bags??
Yes, everyone on this trip had 5-8 wag bags on board.
They are required to get your permit.
Is it compatible with aftermarket batteries? Not like go pro.
To be honest, I am not sure. I haven't tried or researched it.
I might have missed it, but what tent is that? It looks like an OV Fortius made in Ultra TNT.
It is a prototype from Outdoor Vitals.
@@BackcountryExposure... Any thoughts you can share on it? I was thinking I'd have to wait for a DiPole 1p in Ultra, but I'm very brand loyal to OV.
From what I know, Brigham is still in development stages of the tent. This was an opportunity for me to use it for 6 consecutive nights and give my feedback from my experience on any changes I think ought to be made. It's going to be a really great tent once it's in final production. I have zero clue on the timeline for it though.
If you can't wait, the Dipole 1 Li is absolutely worth looking into as an option.
@@BackcountryExposure ... Thanks for getting back to me. I'm in no rush, I won't need the tent until February, 2025. I already have a Lunar Solo and a Lightheart Gear Firefly that are great solo shelters. You should check the Firefly or SoLong 6 out, they're awesome, unique tents. I'm going to be using the tent for a long bikepacking trip next year, so I'm wanting something that doesn't absorb water, is as light as possible and has a small footprint. I dig the DiPole 1 Li, but I don't want to spend so much money on another DCF shelter. I have a X-Mid 2 Pro and would probably go with the simplicity of the X-Mid 1 Pro over the DiPole 1 Li if I wanted a DCF 1 person tent. I'm betting that there will be an Ultra TnT version of the Dipole 1 soon, but like I said I'm very brand loyal to OV. If that OV tent is going made of Ultra, then that's probably what I'll go with. Again, thanks for getting back to me - I don't follow many channels on YT that "review" gear, but you and Justin have earned my trust. BTW, that hike looked incredible - my wife is bugging me to get permits, LOL.
Was that a Fortius tent with an Ultra fly?
Yes, it’s a prototype that I was doing in field testing of for Brigham. I don’t know what the plan is for it, but it was pretty sweet.
Great share! What tent are you using?
Thank you! It's a prototype tent from Outdoor Vitals. :)
@@BackcountryExposure thanks brother!
What month was this trip? Also is June a good time or too hot?
Early March. June could be quite hot. But manageable
5:29 Confluence with...dirt?
The confluence of Buckskin Gulch and the Paria River. 🙂
Assuming rain dosen't get the permit pulled I'm supposed to go this Easter weekend Wirepass to Whitehouse
Awesome! Hope it works out for you. I haven’t yet done the full length of buckskin, just the lower section from the confluence.
Exactly what permit is necessary to do this? Do you mind sharing
If you google Paria River Canyon BLM Permit you'll see top links are for the BLM website and Recreation.gov sites for Permit info.
Pretty popular hike! Permits are booked pretty far out into the year already 😂
So what was your total mileage … so beautiful! Thank you for sharing
With side hikes, about 40 or so miles. Thanks!
Hows the flash 55?
I LOVE it! It’s a really well thought out pack. I’ll have a review soon!
@@BackcountryExposure awesome. Looking forward to it. Great video
What university were you with?

Wow such good feelings, vibes from this video. It’s hard for me to articulate. Time travel.. in any case thanks for posting this. It was a wonderful watch. 🤌🏼
That was a really awesome hike. Now I want to do backpacking here. You did a fantastic job of showing off that camera. I know CZcamsrs do this type of sponsorship, but I thought it was totally justified. Question: for this trip, what did you take battery wise? Both for the camera and your phone. How much battery capacity (I’m think battery pack?) do you need for a trek like this? -Chris🚙⛰️
Thank you! I am genuinely impressed with the capabilities of that little camera.
So, I carried three battery banks on this trip. With it being 6 days, I needed to ensure that I could keep my phone charged and Zoleo in the event SOS was needed. But also, the camera eats a lot of battery in star lapse mode when you run for 5+ hours. So I have 35,000mh of battery bank power available for the 6 days and it worked out perfect. I have two batteries for the Ace Pro.
