Yermo provided a shuttle service for our Buckskin Gulch hike last weekend. He was on time and waited while we picked up our permit at the ranger station. His advice to take trekking poles through the 90+ pools and 10 pools with water waist deep saved us from disaster. He loaned us 8 poles that we forgot to bring with us, really a lifesaver. Started our first day at 8:50 am and set up camp at the end of the Buckskin at 10 PM in the dark. Two adults, two teens and one pre-teen. 25 miles including hike towards Lees Ferry. 100 degrees on the hike out to White House TH. Carry 5 liters per Yermo's advice. Spring located above the confluence with the Paria.
