Hayrick Butte, Volcanic summit in Linn County, Oregon.
Hayrick Butte is a volcanic summit in Linn County, Oregon with steep walls and a flat-topped crown. The formation features distinctive vertical cliffs and a broad plateau structure across its upper surface.
The summit formed during the Pleistocene when volcanic activity occurred beneath glacial ice, creating its distinctive flat shape with vertical walls. This geological process shaped the landmark's appearance as it exists today.
A cartographer's error switched the names between Hayrick Butte and neighboring Hoodoo Butte, leading to permanent changes in local geographical records.
A trail on the eastern buttress leads toward the summit and requires careful attention while crossing rocky ground. Visitors should expect steep climbs and thick vegetation in the gullies.
The flat plateau contains several parallel channels that resemble creek beds and are flanked by steep slopes. This unexpected feature creates an interesting pattern across the otherwise level surface.
