Butterfly Bend is a bend along the Green River that is home to over a dozen boulders with petroglyph panels. The bend itself is quite pretty, perched above the river. It is easy to see why this might be a place the native peoples would linger when in the area.
In this case, visiting Butterfly Bend requires less than a great hike. The hike starts with a steep loose descent down what might be legitimately confused for the local landfill. The steep slope that is at the start of the hike is littered with broken bottles, tires, TV's, shotgun shells and the likes. The good news is that after the initial rough start, the hike becomes more scenic.
The panels are fascinating to visit. Given the initial rough start and looseness, I would not recommend this for young children or those not wanting to deal with a little steep looseness.
