If you want to hike a trail in the center of Bend with views from Mt. Bachelor to Mt. Hood, try hiking the trail (not the road) to the top of Pilot Butte. |
PILOT BUTTE

If you want to hike a trail in the center of Bend with views from Mt. Bachelor to Mt. Hood, try hiking the trail (not the road) to the top of Pilot Butte. |

To get his day started off well, Gary prefers walking this trail at sunrise when there is little foot traffic. |
|
|
The trail circles the butte through sagebrush and juniper, typical high desert vegetation. |
There are several park benches planted along the way for catching one's breath and enjoying the views.

As a caption for this photo, I would have a tendency to write: "Mt. Jefferson preens in the pinks and blues of early morning," while Gary would say, "Here's a picture of Mt. Jefferson." |

Broken Top and South Sister greet the morning sun (Gary would say, "Here's a picture of Broken Top and South Sister"). |
|
Bachelor and Tumalo Mountain are still covered in snow in June.

Morning sun hits Aubrey Butte and Mt. Washington. |
