Isolated sandstone butte comprised of Mancos formation shale and surrounded by Blue Gate shale which is particularly resistant to plant life taking root. Near Cainsville, Utah, both the North and South Cainesville Buttes are geologically similar to Factory Butte. A great place to explore on foot or by 4WD roads, it is also an area highly susceptible to abuse by reckless ORVs.
