Comprised of approximately 1,500 acres, the Red Butte Wilderness includes vibrantly hued sandstone spires and domes, narrow slot canyons, and forested mesa tops of pinyon pine and Utah juniper. Found along the southwest corner of Zion National Park, the wilderness area shares a .75 mile border with the park. The western side of the wilderness area incorporates a portion of the Lower Kolob Plateau, which offers the closest vehicle access route. A high degree of solitude can be experienced in the Red Butte Wilderness, as well as many scenic vistas.
