Butler Wash Ruins
Butler Wash Ruins
Another easy hike leads riders to the site of the Butler Wash Ruins. Thought to date back hundreds of years, the cliff dwellings mark a time when the Anasazi occupied the land. One of the easier to see Anasazi ruins, the significant site sits in a large rock alcove in northern Butler Wash. The best way to view it is to park in the paved lot, then follow a well-marked trail to the overlook. While it’s not advised for visitors climb to the ruins, it’s still possible to see them up close and personal if you have the time and energy. From the overlook use binoculars or zoom in with a camera for the best shot. A slightly longer stop than the Wolfman Petroglyph Panel, the ruins take about an hour to visit.
