The perfectly symmetrical cinder cone that dominates Bend
is a fine example of the region's geological past offering
itself to the present day.
Pilot Butte has served as a
distinctive landmark since the region was inhabited by
aboriginal tribes. Today,
Pilot Butte State Park presents a
picture-perfect panorama of snow-capped Cascade peaks.
