A couple friends and I decided to check out Black Butte after hearing reports on how good it’s been with the most recent snow fall. I also heard that a track was made from the day before-Big Incentive!

North Side of Black Butte

Black Butte is a Plug Dome Volcano which rises vertically 2,000′ at an almost 45-degree angle from the valley floor to an elevation of 6,325′. We began our climb by skinning up and up and up.
