Family Butte Road is tucked far back in the southern region of the San Rafael Swell. The easy-graded dirt road offers breathtaking overlooks, up-close spire views, and memorable primitive camping. In either direction, you will enjoy views of Turkey Spire and Family Butte and stop at a couple of old mine sites. In dry conditions, the route is passable in 2WD with high clearance. There is abundant camping along the route; many sites offer cliffside views, or you can be nestled back in a canyon alone.
