Climbing Elephant Butte is a short but steep scramble across slickrock and loose stone, with sections that require careful footing. The route isn’t marked, so take your time choosing the best line up. From the top, the reward is immense, with endless views of red cliffs, canyons, and open desert in every direction. Go early, carry plenty of water, and enjoy one of the most panoramic spots on the Hayduke Trail.
