Oregon Butte — Tuesday, Aug. 2, 2011

Eastern Washington > Palouse and Blue Mountains

This is a great time of year to hike this trail. This year is very green and the wildflowers are fantastic. The trail has been cleared, thanks to the amazing hard work of the Pomeroy Ranger District crews. The views are well worth the hike. It should be noted that this hike is closer to 3 miles one way, with an elevation gain of 900 feet. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to hike up, and about an hour down for most people. There are many options for extending this hike or creating a loop if you are looking for a greater challenge. The Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness map is useful if you want to go further than Oregon Butte.
