July 9, 2011


Red Butte from near the paved highway


And a little closer


Sign at the trailhead


The upper mountain


The top


Blurred shot of the lookout


The exposed red cliffs, "Shinarump"


As seen from the Grandview Lookout tower


The lookout (and my truck)


I finally found the benchmark (inset: a close-up)


You can see some of the cliffs in the Grand Canyon from the lookout


The ranger residence. Looks like toys from up here


Some info on the tower
