Today we went for a walk to a place that is very popular in Bend and that is Pilot Butte. We have lived here for 15 yrs and have never made this climb before. The weather was perfect for this kind of a climb, it is 1.75 miles one way,And a climb
UP the hill. For 2 people that is really out of shape, this was a work out for us. But the view once we got there was amazing. I will post more photos later on as well.

Pilot Butte is an instinct volcano, it is a cinder cone which rises nearly 500 ft above the surrounding plains. Bend is one of the very few cities in the United States with volcanoes located within there boundaries
This is Mt Jefferson from here you can see so many of the mountain ranges.

I used to live in the Pacific NW so your photos made me remember my backpacking trips along the Pacific Crest trail and the sparkling air during the summers (when it wasn't raining, although that could be nice too).
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
What kind of bird is that? It's great. I'm glad the volcanoes are extinct: what a mess if not! My SWF is here. Thank you.
