Utah – Lower Butler Wash – Split Level Ruins

Posted on May 28, 2022June 4, 2022

Split-level ruins are located off from Lower Butler Wash. Finding the parking area proved to be the most difficult aspect of this hike. Beware that there is a Decker’s road that seems to be a continuation of Butler Wash rd (262). Here’s a zoomed-in map of the road and entrances:

Here’s the overall map of the ruins and petroglyphs located on Lower Butler Wash road:

This trail is well marked and difficult to miss:

There is a trail that splits off and goes up. It only goes to a ledge that you can walk along before you must descend back to the main trail:

You’ll come to a fence that appears to block your path. It was constructed to keep cattle out, not humans:

The trail looks grown over, but it will eventually come to a sign that warns visitors to respect the ruins:

Eventually, you’ll come to some ruins near the end of the trail (you can climb up the right side to see it from a distance and you can go up the wash more and climb to the lower level of the ruins):

You can get an idea of the scale of the ruins when you find Michelle in the lower right corner of this picture (pink shirt):

Here are some photos from the lower ledge:
