Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Paria Canyon cuts a multi-day sandstone corridor from the Utah border to Lees Ferry, famous for glowing walls, narrows, and remote camping. The White House Trailhead is the standard overnight start; Wire Pass and Buckskin join the system upstream. BLM permits are required for overnight trips; flash floods and quicksand are genuine hazards.
