Pilot Butte

There are only four cities in the United States that have a volcano within its boundaries. Bend is fortunately one of those cities with an extinct volcano just down the road. Pilot Butte is a lava dome that was created as part of this volcano, resulting in a cinder cone butte that reaches 500 feet above the horizon. You will be able to get panoramic views of the area in sweeping shots. The hike up to the scenic point is fairly easy so hikers of all experience levels can enjoy the incredible views up top. Additional sightseeing points outside the city also include Lava Butte, Tumalo Mountain, and Maiden Peak. Expect plenty of snow during the winter that will make these areas harder to trek.
