Scenic, most popular hike in Palmer/ Butte area. Closest view of Pioneer Peak and a full 360 view of the valley.

This is a relatively short hike (but will really get up your heart rate!) Views from the top are gorgeous.

This is a an awesome hike with both a North and South trail-head. The North trail-head is on the back side of the Butte and is maintained better than the South. It has many stairs and handrails along the walkway and is about a 45 minute hike. The South side is quicker and steeper, but still an awesome hike! Once on top of the Butte you have a 360 view of the area, it is breathtaking.

Fun and rewarding hike. We have done this with people as young as 2 and as old as 67. It's not too difficult, and the views at the top are beautiful!
