Lower Butte Loop: This trail offers a 11 mile loop opportunity while connecting with the other trail segments in the vicinity. The trail is located on the south and west sides of Black Butte and follows a mixture of old logging roads and steep single track with irregular surfaces. As you travel the south and west portions you will see lowering "yellow belly" ponderosa pine and Douglas fir trees.

Upper Butte Loop: This portion of trail is accessible from the lower loop and provides a challenging 13 mile ride around Black Butte. The trail travels through old growth ponderosa pine and mixed conifer as it circles the butte. When you approach the west and northwest sides, the ponderosa will give way to mixed conifer and subalpine vegetation. Occasional openings in the forest canopy will provide spectacular views of the Cascades.
