Whites Butte

(& Views of Pima Point-(left), Columbus Point-(center))
English: Whites Butte-(a massive ridgeline terminus-(a massif)), adjacent the Colorado River (south side, Granite Gorge), at the terminus of Travertine Canyon, on its west-northwest side; w:Whites Butte also lies in Lower Boucher Canyon, on its southeast side.
  • Whites Butte is on a series of ridgeline termini, upstream from Scorpion Ridge, below Point Imperial (Colorado River, north side). From upstream, the 3 ridgeline termini are Whites Butte, Marsh Butte, and Geikie Peak.
  • The Boucher Trail traverses the west flank of Whites Butte, after going over the saddle at the south terminus of Whites Butte & between the base of the cliffs of w:Cocopa Point. The w:Boucher Trail then intersects the Tonto Trail in Lower Boucher Canyon, on its southeast side-(also the location of the intersection of the w:Topaz Canyon terminus, the east tributary to Boucher Canyon).
  • The prominence of the butte is composed of eroded Supai Group redbeds (Watahomigi Formation), sitting on a flat platform of Redwall Limestone.
