About This Trail

Imported description

The third highest peak in northwest Oregon is called Olallie Butte. It is between Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson and surrounded by lakes. It is still a main point in the area despite being overshadowed by the surrounding peaks. It is the most prominent peak in the county.

From Wikipedia

Olallie Butte is a steep-sided shield volcano in the Cascade Range of the northern part of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the largest volcano and highest point in the 50-mile (80 km) distance between Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson. Located just outside the Olallie Scenic Area, it is surrounded by more than 200 lakes and ponds fed by runoff, precipitation, and underground seepage, which are popular spots for fishing, boating, and swimming. The butte forms a prominent feature in the Mount Jefferson region and is usually covered with snow during the winter and spring seasons.
