Double Butte is a mountain distinguished by two buttes, the highest being the western summit at about 2,579 feet or 786 metres and the lesser summit being 2,480 feet or 756 metres.[1] It is located in Riverside County, California.[3]

History

[edit | edit source]

To the east of the Double Butte, there is a disposal site landfill around the area,[4][5] but it has been closed in recent years.[6]

Geography

[edit | edit source]

The Double Butte County Regional Park is located in the canyon in the middle of the south side of the range.[7] By 2014, the County Regional Park was still undeveloped and closed to the public.[6]

It is the westernmost summit of a mountain range north of Winchester, California, east of Perris Valley and west of the San Jacinto Valley. The eastern ridge is composed primarily of metamorphic rock of the Triassic - Jurassic French Valley formation. The remainder of the Double Butte range is composed primarily of Cretaceous granitic rock.

Hiking

[edit | edit source]

Two hiking trails exist on the mountain, one to the peak and the other along its west face. [8][9]

Two climbing sites are located on its west face.[10]
