About this campground

The Butler Wash Interpretive Trail is a short hike to a beautiful viewpoint where you can see ancestral Puebloan structures tucked into cliffside alcoves in the facing canyon wall. The hiking trail winds its way across some small washes and over slickrock before reaching the overlook. Round trip hiking distance is one mile and travel time is approximately an hour. It is an easy to moderate hike over uneven terrain. There is no water at this site, and desert temperatures can be extremely hot and dry. Plan ahead and be prepared. Bring appropriate clothing and water when visiting this site.
