Olallie Butte, Steep shield volcano in Marion County, Oregon
Olallie Butte rises to 7,219 feet in elevation, standing as the largest volcanic formation between Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson in the Cascade Range.
The United States Forest Service constructed a fire lookout tower on the summit in 1915, which remained operational until its abandonment in 1967.
The name originates from the Chinook Jargon word klallali, reflecting the abundance of berry plants that grow in the surrounding region.
Visitors can access the butte through multiple trails, including the Pacific Crest Trail along its western side, with the best hiking conditions from June to October.
The volcanic structure exhibits a transitional form between steep mafic volcanoes and flatter shields, with distinct glacial features visible on its northeastern slope.
