Hayrick Butte, Volcanic summit in Linn County, Oregon.
Hayrick Butte rises 5,482 feet above sea level, featuring steep vertical walls and a flat plateau spanning half a mile across the top.
The formation occurred during the Pleistocene period when volcanic lava erupted beneath glacial ice, creating its distinctive flat-topped shape with vertical walls.
A cartographer's error switched the names between Hayrick Butte and neighboring Hoodoo Butte, leading to permanent changes in local geographical records.
The eastern buttress contains a user trail leading to the summit, requiring careful navigation through rocky terrain and vegetated gullies.
The northern section contains multiple parallel channels resembling creek beds, flanked by thirty-foot slopes across the otherwise flat summit surface.
