📍 Climb the Black Butte summit trail

A perfectly conical extinct volcano just outside Sisters with a 4-mile out-and-back trail to a historic 1934 fire lookout at the summit. Views span every Cascade peak from Mt Hood to Mt Bachelor on clear days.

Good to know

• Free trailhead parking; rough access road (gravel, drivable).
• 1,500 ft elevation gain — moderate but steady.
• Best June through October; snow lingers higher into spring.
