It
is believed that the ruins at Butler Wash were inhabited during
the 12th-13th centuries. The actual ruins are located on a
ledge 2/3 of the way up a small cliff face. There are several
hand and toe hold trails which are also visible in various
locations. The main ruin is located in an alcove on a cliff
ledge and is visible from an observation point which acts
as an overlook for the ruins.
Several
kivas are also located here: three square and one round.
A
small arch is located close by. (Look to the right)
