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.

The Upper Black Butte trailhead shortens the hike to the top by three miles and 2,000 feet of climbing. A restroom is available. The road is rough to this upper trailhead but is passable with careful driving.
