The Butler Sanctuary Yellow, Red and Northern Orange Trail offers a delightful journey through a surprisingly diverse landscape for an easy hike. You'll wander through deciduous forests, navigate rugged outcrops, and pass by wetlands, with sections like the Fern Trail known for being carpeted with various fern species in spring and early fall.
