Hubbell Butte is a 6,740 ft-elevation summit located in the eastern Grand Canyon, in Coconino County of northern Arizona, United States. It is situated ~1.5 miles northeast of Cape Final (North Rim, Walhalla Plateau,(Kaibab Plateau)). Hubbell Butte lies about 1.0 mile southeast of Siegfried Pyre, both prominences adjacent 2.0 miles east of the Walhalla Plateau. The butte is about 5.0 miles west of the Colorado River, as it flows south through Marble Canyon, and the butte lies in the Upper Lava Creek watershed.
Hubbell Butte is composed of Supai Group units, sitting upon Redwall Limestone cliffs. The west flank of Hubbell Butte is on a north section of Lava Creek, and is adjacent, north, to the ridgeline of Siegfried Pyre, with its prominence, and two adjacent sub-prominences.
Hubbell Butte is named for Don Lorenzo Hubbell, a famous trader for the Navajos. The Lorenzo Hubbell Trading Post and Warehouse is his legacy.
