Second Saturday Hikes – Peterson Butte Hike

Time for the annual Peterson Butte Hike! Join us on Saturday, May 14th for the most popular Build Lebanon Trails hike. The top of the butte provides some of the best views around the Valley, so don’t forget your camera and binoculars!

The hike will take around 2 hours and cover a distance of 2½ miles, including an elevation change of around 1000 feet. This is a more challenging hike that involves rocky surfaces and uneven footing. Be sure to wear footware and clothing appropriate for the conditions.
Poison oak is known to be along the route, so keep an eye out. By request of the landowners, please no dogs on this hike.

Meet on the north side of the butte by travling west along Airport Road, about a mile past the airport. At the first bend, do not turn, but go straight on to Polly Farm Lane. Keep an eye out for BLT signs. Parking is limited; please carpool if possible!
