Getting there
From Winthrop, follow the West Chewuch Road for 1.5 miles. Turn left on Rendezvous Road. Turn Left on Gunn Ranch Road and continue for 1 mile to the DNR parking lot on the left (south) side of the road. A Washington State Discover Pass is required.
on the trail
Find the trailhead on the uphill side of Gunn Ranch Rd from the parking area. Follow the trail to a junction in ~1 mile; from here, stay left to do a loop, or turn right to head up to the top of the butte for an out-and-back route (or if you just prefer to do the loop counterclockwise).
The trail is gently-graded and south-facing trail, ascending to a broad summit with big views of the Methow Valley. There's almost no shade, so in warm months it's best done early in the day. In winter, a direct route from the trailhead to the top of the butte and back is possible. Make your own track or follow one established by others; this is easy, open terrain.
