Directions: From Bangerter Highway, take 134th South going west. Continue through Herriman to 6400 West and turn right (north). Go about 3 block and turn left on 13100 So. (Main St. and also Herriman Highway). At about 7300 West make sure you keep right and go about a mile to where the road makes a strong curve to the right. Turn left at the sign for "Wild Horse & Burro Center" (this is the Butterfield Canyon Rd. but there is no sign that says that). Birding: It's about 8 miles to the top of the canyon. In the lower part there are lots of turnoffs where you can park. At about mile 7 there is a trail going off to the right (north) and another tail about a half mile further up. At the top there is a large parking lot with several trails and two roads. The road going down to the west leads to Middle Canyon and Tooele about 8 miles away.
