Red Butte is a butte located in the Kaibab National Forest in Coconino County, Arizona. (Not to be confused with Red Mountain which is a blown out volcano located a few miles to the south.) It is known to the Havasupai nation as Wii'i Gdwiisa, "clenched fist mountain," and is regarded as a sacred site. Red Butte is the most notable feature on the Coconino Plateau between the San Francisco volcanic field and the Grand Canyon. Its base is formed of sandstones of the Moenkopi Formation. Above that are strata of the Shinarump Conglomerate; the summit is capped with volcanic rocks.

| - Der Red Butte ist ein Berg in den USA. Er befindet sich ca. 25 Kilometer südlich des Grand Canyon Village im Kaibab National Forest in Coconino County im Norden des US-Bundesstaates Arizona. Seine Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel beträgt 2232 Meter, sein Umland überragt er jedoch nur um rund 250 Meter. An der Westseite des Berges gibt es einen Weg auf den Gipfel. Von dort aus kann man die Nordkante des Grand Canyon sehen. Bei den Havasupai-Indianern gilt der Berg als eine heilige Stätte. (de)

| - Der Red Butte ist ein Berg in den USA. Er befindet sich ca. 25 Kilometer südlich des Grand Canyon Village im Kaibab National Forest in Coconino County im Norden des US-Bundesstaates Arizona. Seine Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel beträgt 2232 Meter, sein Umland überragt er jedoch nur um rund 250 Meter. Der Berg liegt auf dem Coconino-Plateau, einem Teilplateau des Colorado-Plateaus. Er wird aufgebaut aus terrestrischen Siliziklastika der triassischen Moenkopi-Formation. Der roten Färbung dieser Sedimentgesteine verdankt der Red Butte seinen Namen. Im Umland des Berges stehen hingegen permische Sedimentgesteine an. Weil diese weniger Verwitterungs- und Erosionsresistent sind als die Gesteine der Moenkopi-Formation, sind sie nicht reliefbildend und der Red Butte blieb als Zeugenberg eines einst weit ausgedehnteren Ausbisses der Moenkopi-Formation stehen. An der Westseite des Berges gibt es einen Weg auf den Gipfel. Von dort aus kann man die Nordkante des Grand Canyon sehen. Bei den Havasupai-Indianern gilt der Berg als eine heilige Stätte. (de)

Red Butte is the most notable feature on the Coconino Plateau between the San Francisco volcanic field and the Grand Canyon. Its base is formed of sandstones of the Moenkopi Formation. Above that are strata of the Shinarump Conglomerate; the summit is capped with volcanic rocks. A trail leads to the summit along the west side. The summit affords a good view of the San Francisco Peaks, but because of the slope of the Coconino Plateau, only the uppermost part of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon can be seen. (en)
