Hiking
After climbing just over five miles through old growth forests, stands of wild rhododendrons and other forest delights, you are rewarded with the Salmon Butte summit and views of Mt Hood and Mt Jefferson on clear days. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the top before descending down the buttery singletrack trails to the Salmon River drainage below.

Running
There are great views of Mt Hood and Mt Jefferson from the peak of Salmon Butte. It is a strenuous climb up to the top, but it is worth it for the views you get on the top.
