    Tips

    July 8, 2023

    Hiking

    You may need an AWD vehicle for the road to the trailhead in the wintertime. Bring crampons and poles. It can be a bit slippery on the way down.

    Cycling

    On the way up you'll have intermittent views of the surrounding mountains all while riding up the side of an extinct volcano! Here at the end of the gravel road is a trail to the top of Black Butte which is well worth the effort if your time and energy reserves allow.

    Running

    A Northwest Forest Pass is required to park at the Trailhead, or a $5/vehicle/day use fee instead of the pass. As you run up the steep trail along a symmetrical volcano, you will enjoy fantastic views of the surrounding mountains along the way, with an excellent reward at the top.
