Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Gold Butte National Monument sprawls east of Lake Mead with red and gold sandstone, Joshua trees, and extreme quiet. Whitney Pocket is a common day-use hub; farther spurs reach narrow canyons and rock art—keep visits leave-no-trace and never touch glyphs. Expect rough dirt, little water, and full self-sufficiency.
