Upper Black Butte Loop Trail

Dogs Leashed

E-Bikes Not Allowed

Features Views

The trails in this area are popular with horse back riders. Also, these trails tend to be busier on the weekend.

The Upper Butte Loop is accessible from the Lower Butte Loop and provides a wooded 12 mile loop around Black Butte with a few amazing views along the way.

The trail travels through old growth ponderosa pine and mixed conifer as it circles the butte. When you approach the west and northwest sides, the ponderosa will give way to mixed conifer and sub-alpine vegetation. Occasional openings in the forest canopy will provide spectacular view of the Cascades and beyond.
