Amber Cat Canyon & Doodlebug Arch Hike

Details

Join James and Jennifer Conwell and the Friends of Gold Butte as we explore Doodlebug Arch and Amber Cat Canyon. You will see red and white sandstone formations, a neat little arch and a beautiful Joshua tree forest during this moderate 4.5 mile hike. We will meet at 9:00 am at the junction of Gold Butte Road and Highway 170 and caravan to the trailhead. The road is roughly paved, and 4WD is not required. All of our hikes are free and open to the public.

For all hikes, please wear sturdy shoes, breathable clothes, and a hat. It's a good idea to dress in layers. Don't forget to bring sunscreen, water, lunch, and snacks, and don't forget your PPE and hand sanitizer. We will be practicing social distancing, so please be cognizant of your proximity to others. There are no stores or facilities in Gold Butte; be prepared to pee in the bushes.

With Covid restrictions in place, we also have had to reduce the number of people for each of our outings. We are sorry about that, and hope it is a temporary thing. Keeping that in mind, please adhere to social distancing protocol at all times and please do not attend if you're feeling ill or have symptoms. Masks will be required when in close proximity of others.

If you register for this hike and then aren't able to go, please remove yourself from the "going" list and let one of the organizers know. This will allow someone on the waitlist to be notified and plan to attend. We understand that things come up last minute, but if you do not notify us and just do not show up, you will be tagged as a "no-show" and that could result in your not being permitted to register for future events. It is suggested that you give 48 hours notice if you're not able to attend. We know that's not always possible, especially in the case of illness, but please be courteous and let us know!!
