It is a cinder cone butte which rises nearly {{convert|500|ft|-1}} above the surrounding plains. Bend is one of four cities in the United States to have a volcano within its boundaries. Portland is the only other city in Oregon with a volcano within its city limits, with Mount Tabor. Jackson Volcano in Jackson, Mississippi, and Diamond Head in Honolulu are the others. The {{convert|114.22|acre|ha|adj=on}} Pilot Butte State Scenic Viewpoint, presented as a gift to the State of Oregon in 1928,[4] is a Bend icon. Pilot Butte itself is a popular hiking destination with two trails to the summit, each gaining about {{convert|490|ft|-1}} in elevation. There is also a 1.8 mile trail around the base of Pilot Butte that was constructed in 2010. A scenic road also winds up and around the cone. The park had 881,722 annual visits as reported on the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department website in 2014 making it the most visited Oregon State Park east of the Cascade Mountains.{{Citation needed|date=March 2007}} From the top, the entire city of Bend is visible, as well as several major Cascade peaks.

The City of Bend launches 4th of July fireworks from Pilot Butte each year.[5] Pilot Butte was named in 1851 by Thomas Clark, leader of the first party of European settlers to camp on the future site of Bend. The Clark wagon train approached the area from the east after recovering from the Clark Massacre. {{wide image|BendORPanoramic.jpg|700px|The view of Bend from Pilot Butte}}GeologyPilot Butte is believed to be less than 780,000 years old due to the rock having normal polarity, and thus most likely laid down after the most recent reversal.
