    Hiking

    Besides being a killer uphill workout, the Black Butte summit offers incredible views to the surrounding mountains and meadows in the region. The historic lookout was built in 1923, though it was not tall enough for proper fire spotting and was supplemented with a crow's nest tower. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Mt Adams in southwest Washington.
