Red Butte Wilderness Area

Red Butte Wilderness Area is a 1,535-acre federally protected wilderness in Utah, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It offers backcountry hiking and backpacking in a primitive landscape where motorized travel and mechanized equipment are prohibited. The wilderness is dedicated to solitude and non-motorized recreation, drawing visitors seeking a quiet escape into undeveloped terrain.

Access requires foot travel only—no roads, vehicles, or mountain bikes are permitted within the wilderness boundary. Visitors must follow Leave No Trace principles and self-register as required by the managing agency. Spring through fall are the most practical seasons for visiting, though conditions vary by elevation and weather. Plan accordingly for water sources, weather exposure, and the remote character of the area.
