Enjoy a picnic lunch at the top before descending down the buttery singletrack trails to the Salmon River drainage below.

Running

There are great views of Mt Hood and Mt Jefferson from the peak of Salmon Butte. It is a strenuous climb up to the top, but it is worth it for the views you get on the top.
