Chase the sunrise with us on Butler Fork Loop. We're starting early — headlamps and all — to beat the heat and catch that golden morning light along the ridge line. Fair warning: the first half is a real climber, but the views (and the summit snack break) make every step worth it. We keep it leisurely and chatty, with frequent stops — nobody gets left behind.
Date & Time: Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 6:30 AM
Meeting Point: Butler Fork Trailhead
Trail: 7.5 miles — view on AllTrails
Difficulty: Moderate
Pace: Leisurely — frequent stops, chatty, no one's left behind
Group Size: Up to 6
Dogs: Not this hike
Cost: No cost — first come, first served parking
What to Bring: 3L of water, a summit snack, a jacket for cool mornings, a headlamp (dark start!), sunscreen, bug spray, sun protection/clothing, sturdy hiking shoes, and good vibes
Parking: First come, first served along the side of the road (spots on both sides, a bit further up too) — Sara will be there around 6/6:15 to snag a spot
Good to Know: The first half of this trail is a steady elevation climb, but it pays off on the ridge line at the top. Want to carpool? Reach out to Sara — she's meeting at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon at 6 AM and can drive up.
