Every year, more than one million people hike the trails on Pilot Butte, drive up the summit to take in the views, and frolic in the park and playground at the base of the iconic butte in the heart of Bend.
In this week’s The Great Outdoors, sponsored by Parr Lumber, we encourage those who enjoy Pilot Butte to engage in a master planning process now under way.
The master plan will guide management of the butte for decades to come.
Central Oregon Daily’s Brooke Snavely has the story.
