1 John Westlund Memorial

As you enter the first gate you will notice a large natural stone to your left. This is in recognition of John Westlund-a long time canyon resident who loved preserving the stories and history of his favorite place on earth-Butte Creek Canyon. He loved the unique qualities of the canyon with its beautiful cliffs, wildlife, creek and most importantly his friends and neighbors. Take a walk through one of his favorite places and enjoy the history dating back to our gold rush days.
