🥾 Pilot Butte to Summit 3.5 Mile MODERATE DIFFICULTY Nature + Base Trail

Forecast Update: 69-75 degrees. I thought about starting earlier, but it wouldn’t be much cooler.

This will be a 3.5 mile hike with a very steep 1 mile uphill climb!! Know your limits. Expect to have your heart rate up for the first mile. Three miles may not seem like a lot, but this is not an easy hike.

We will do the Nature Trail followed by the Base Trail! On the Nature Trail, you'll definitely get your heart rate up! The Base Trail is easier.

Distance: 3.5 miles
Difficulty: MODERATE
PACE: EASY/MODERATE
Forecast is 69-75 degrees and sunny during our time on the trail.
Bring plenty of water.
Poles recommended! The 1st mile is a very steep incline to the summit!
Trail shoes or hiking boots mandatory! No tennis shoes.
No parking permit required.
Restrooms in the parking lot.
