Trip report Pivot Rock Canyon 23 August by Ron Rutowski
Pivot Rock Canyon was warm and humid Saturday morning 8/23/2025. According to campers there was substantial rain the night before, but there was no flowing water in the Canyon in places where we have seen it in past years and overall conditions were still very dry. Although five avid trip participants gave it their best shot, the butterflying that morning was not great. The group saw only about a dozen individual butterflies representing six species: Two-tailed Swallowtail, Spring Azure, Painted Lady, Northwestern Fritillary, Mourning Cloak, Taxiles Skipper. Pray for more monsoon rain this year and next!
