Bend is surrounded by amazing sights. Perhaps one of the best places to take it all in is Pilot Butte, an extinct cinder cone located within Bend’s boundaries.
A lot of people choose to hike up, however our first trip was by car. The view is really spectacular.
In the center of the observation deck is a bronze disk aligning all the prominent points.
We got much better acquainted with our surroundings and had excellent views of the city of Bend.
It was well worth the short trip up it’s narrow road.
