One of the more stunning places to visit in Gold Butte, in my mind, is Seven Keyholes. The sandstone butte has fractured here and has been weathered by rains and wind over millennia to create a dramatic canyon with a number of cross joints. The name comes from how the canyon has a keyhole like appearance as you ascend it. The canyon is dark and almost cathedral like.

The route visits two canyons, both are short loops. This is a special place that has captivated people's interest for a long time given the amount of rock art adorning the walls. It is easy to imagine people, and especially children, playing in the canyons and on the boulders. Be very respectful when visited to not touch, deface, or otherwise damage the rock art. Pay attention to where you walk, as in some instances it would be easy to walk over rock art.
