This state park was established on Sept. 30, 1928 much of the butte, the summit road and summit viewpoint were given to the State as a state park for the enjoyment of the citizens of Oregon. The summit road begins at the butte’s west base and spirals to the summit where interpretive displays describe the view and history of the area. The road is closed to autos during the winter season (Nov-Apr) due to icy conditions.
There is also a trailhead at the eastern base (N 44° 03.463’ W 121° 16.729’) where two trails lead to the summit (one shares the road with autos).
