The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has reopened the gate to the summit of Pilot Butte for the season. ⏰ The summit road gate will be open from 10 am – 9 pm daily! (Be sure to plan enough time to exit before the gate closes each night) ⚠️ Be cautious of other users! Drive slow and leave room for others—cyclists and pedestrians may be in the roadway or along the shoulder. 🚮 As always, be sure to follow the 7 principles of Leave No Trace as you recreate.

🌎 In celebration of #EarthDay, we are grateful for the natural beauty that surrounds us. From the Cascades’ snow-capped peaks to the Deschutes River’s sparkling waters, each day we are reminded of the important role we all have in protecting and preserving our environment for future generations. 🤝 Our commitment to sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. We strive to promote responsible recreation and encourage all to minimize their environmental impact. From our partnership with Leave No Trace to supporting local businesses and organizations that prioritize sustainability, we are dedicated to preserving the natural resources that make Bend such a special place to live and visit.
