Hiking – Butler Gulch

Butler Gulch is known for a great variety of wildflowers, and they should be in bloom! From the parking lot near the Henderson Mine, we'll start out at around 10,400'. Because of the threat of afternoon storms, we are not going to hike the ridge like originally planned. We will hike to the mine, have a snack, and then descend back to the parking area.
