Pilot Butte State Scenic Viewpoint encourages visitors to come and explore an old cinder cone located just east of Bend. Hike up and around on one of three trails. The trails wind through stands of juniper and sage. All of the trails lead to the summit. Once at the top, get ready for a grand panoramic view of the high desert. To the west at sunset, the glow of snowcapped Cascade Mountains put on a spectacular show. Three Sisters, Mt. Jefferson, Black Butte and Mt. Hood are some of the highlights. Guests are advised to bring something to quench their thirst after the climb; there's no drinking water at the park. The new parking area and trailhead are just east of the Butte, and across from the Deschutes National Forest Headquarters. Visitors may walk on either the nature trail or the paved road. The road is also available for vehicle traffic, weather permitting. It is a wonderful viewpoint for the entire Bend area.
