Pilot Butte Hike
One of the highlights of our Central Oregon getaway was this hike to the top of an old cinder cone volcano in Bend, Oregon.  With commanding views of the Cascades, we were highly impressed that we could see the entire Oregon Cascade range, all the way up to Mount Hood, over 90 miles away!  While we were expecting to be able to drive to the top of the butte, the road is closed during the winter season, but the 2-mile, 500-foot hike to the top was well worth the view.
