About this spot

Fumarole Butte

Fumarole Butte is an impressive geological formation located in the Lower Sevier watershed of Utah. It was created by a volcanic eruption that occurred over 10 million years ago. The butte is made up of welded volcanic tuff, which is a type of rock formed by the consolidation of volcanic ash and debris. The tuff is layered and has a texture that resembles a honeycomb. The butte is also home to several fumaroles, which are openings in the earth's crust that emit steam and other gases. The fumaroles are a result of the geothermal activity that still exists in the area.

There are several good reasons to visit Fumarole Butte. First and foremost, it is a unique geological formation that is not found in many other parts of the world. The tuff rock and fumaroles are fascinating to see up close. Additionally, the butte is located in a scenic area of Utah that is perfect for hiking and outdoor recreation. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscape and observe the local wildlife. Finally, Fumarole Butte is a great place to learn about the geology and natural history of the region. Visitors can explore the butte on their own or take a guided tour to learn more about its formation and significance.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
