Description
Black Butte is a small but prominent stratovolcano on the east side of the Cascade crest. A 62-foot fire lookout tower stands atop the butte along with a white cupola cabin, currently being restored, that was put there in 1923. The lookout bunkhouse was condemned and intentionally burned down by the Forest Service in 2016. Summer lookout staff now use a yurt.
