My first attempt at Brins Butte was on June 14, 2020. I had turned back because lots of scree and loose rock. This time, at 8am I began my 4.2 mile round trip hike up Brins Butte, on a different route. I encountered only a few people, and nobody on the butte. I followed a faint trail up Brins Butte that was often marked with rock cairns. I made it to the summit in 90 minutes from the Jim Thompson Trailhead. Once I was on the mesa it had taken 46 minutes to reach the top. Near the top it is frequently a class 2 climb. The 5,502 summit of Coconino Sandstone is dominated by manzanita and pinyon-juniper woodland.
