Padres Butte

Padres Butte is a butte, a summit on Padre Point on the south shore of Lake Powell in San Juan County, Utah. The butte has an elevation of 3891 feet / 1186 meters. Formerly it was an island in the lake, now with lower water it is near the tip of Padre Point. Padres Butte marks the site of the historical Crossing of the Fathers, a series of sand bars across the river along the great bend in the river a mile west of the butte.
