Description
Butler Wash is probably the easiest to access in Utah. The area has several buildings in decent shape and you will get to see a small Natural Bridge. This is great for families as well. The parking area is well signed and pretty big for several cars. The trail starts out very wide and sandy. There are several interpretive signs along the way telling you about the plants and what natives did with them. You will soon be walking on sandstone and there are large cairns marking the path and eventually reach the edge of the canyon where the ruins are visible from the guard rail. If you search all the cliffs several ruins can be seen and just above the ruins is a small Natural Bridge.
