Join Steve Dudrow, Lois Etzel and the Friends of Gold Butte for about a 5-mile hike in Gold Butte National Monument visiting Titanic Rock, Little Dumbo Arch, Bison Rock, Teddy’s Mini-Slot Canyon, A-Frame Rock, Star-Trek Meadows and plenty of other red rock washes, monoliths, and cool sites.
If you have a creative spark, write a poem about Gold Butte to share at lunch. We will meet at 8 AM @ the junction of Gold Butte Road and Highway 170 and caravan to the trailhead. You will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle for this one. If you would like to go but do not have an appropriate vehicle, carpooling may be arranged. You will need to let us know when you register whether you will need a ride, or if you can take others in your vehicle.

Please be sure your vehicle is adequate and that you have plenty of fuel and are equipped to change a tire if need be.

You will need to bring plenty of water, lunch and snacks for yourself, and wear weather-appropriate clothing, closed toe shoes, sunscreen and a hat.

We are pleased to offer all of our events to the public at no charge. Please, if you register for this hike and are unable to attend, take yourself off the “going” list and/or let one of the organizers know in sufficient time to let waitlisted people participate. We understand that last-minute things happen, but if possible be courteous and give at least 48 hours notice. If you register and then do not let us know that you won’t be attending but just fail to show up, you will be tagged as a “no-show” and this may result in your not being permitted to register for future events that have a participant limit. Please be courteous!
