Every time I drive to the Canyon, I glance over at Red Butte and wonder why I've never hiked this beauty. Finally, I had my chance this last weekend.

I needed to go to the BCO for a permit. I had some initial thoughts of climbing some inner canyon buttes, but my daughter was grumbling enough about having to go with me at all, let alone pushing her down canyon for some off trail scrambling...(another day for that it appears. ;) )

Bekah, 12, and I spent most of the day wandering around the South Rim area. After successfully getting my permit, we shot back over to the Red Butte trailhead and started our hike.

The weather was fantastic, as were the 360 degree views on the butte. There was a pretty large controlled burn on the North Rim.

When we got back off FR340 (pretty rough road w/o high clearance) and onto FR320, I let Bekah drive the 4-Runner back to 180!! :scared: Scary stuff.
