Shuntavi Butte

Utah

About

Shuntavi Butte is a summit of 7,050 feet in the Zion Wilderness, part of Zion National Park in Utah, managed by the National Park Service. The nearest town is New Harmony, about 7.5 miles away. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cedar City show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 77°F, with lows in the 40s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top run a little cooler. Timber Creek Trail starts less than a mile away. Kolob Canyon and the Kolob Arch Trail are both within about 2.3 miles, and climbers can head to Tucupit, roughly 2 miles off.
