The trailhead is in the Mt Hood National Forest, but the bulk of the butte belongs to the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. At the top you will find the crumbling remains of the fire lookout that was abandoned in 1967. Take along a map to be able to identify the many lakes in the Olallie Scenic Area as well as lakes on the Warm Springs Reservation. |
