Description

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.

Directions

The Butler Wash Interpretive Trail is located about 14 miles west of Blanding, UT and is well signed on State Route 95. The parking area is on the north side of the highway. The parking area is paved and pit toilet facilities are available.
