About

Pilot Butte is an absolute must-do for the views alone. Whether you hike up or drive, the 360-degree panorama of the mountains is breathtaking. It is a classic Bend spot that never gets old. Just be aware that the road closes in winter, and it can get pretty windy at the top. It is a great workout and a perfect place to catch a sunset.
