It is an abandoned trail.

Clue/puzzle:

Streams in the area are year round, but run dry.

The old 38 map shows a trail that crosses lemiti creek, just east of lemiti butte.  It looks like a way trail but I do not know its name.

Well that's basically it. But you need a name.

I'll just take a shot in the dark - based on your previous clue - the dry creek trail?

From the 1961 USGS 15' Brietenbush topo the Skyline Trail runs through just east of Lemiti Butte. Looks like a couple of other abandoned trails in the area, with names like Boundary and Driveway.
