Pilot Butte State Scenic Viewpoint, located just east of Bend, Oregon, offers visitors the opportunity to explore an ancient cinder cone through its three scenic trails. Hiking through juniper and sage stands, visitors can reach the summit and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the high desert, including the snow-capped Cascade mountains at sunset.
Given to the state in 1927, Pilot Butte served as a landmark for wagon train immigrants crossing the Deschutes River. With year-round access to hiking trails and seasonal driving access to the summit, this scenic viewpoint provides a memorable experience for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
