At just 874 feet (266 m) in elevation, you might not expect much from Bodenburg Butte. But it sits like an island in the middle of flat farmland, so climbing up to the rocky top of the butte — via a trail that is roughly 25% stairs — provides really beautiful views of the lush farmland around you and the nearby mountains.

From Bodenburg Butte you have a great 360° view of the surrounding mountains and the Knik Glacier, which feeds the Knik River of the same name. The butte itself was also formed by glacial activity. The panoramic view is definitely worth the strenuous climb (including a staircase with 527 steps).
