Primary developed staging area in Gold Butte National Monument: a red-rock sandstone pocket with picnic sites, vault toilets, and dispersed camping amid dramatic Navajo/Aztec Sandstone cliffs and Joshua tree desert. Serves as the main gateway for exploring Whitney Pocket roads, petroglyph-adjacent public areas (view only from established routes), and remote monument backcountry toward Little Finland and the Virgin Mountains.
