Burnt Butte Pit

Trail Overview

This is an amazing short trail stemming off shortly after Chiloquin if coming from Klamath. It is an easy ascent most months of the year with minimal ruts, but be cautious of heavy snow during the winter months. At the top of the rock pile on the right, you are offered amazing views in all directions of the Klamath National Forest. Be cautious during weekdays, specifically in the morning and afternoon hours, as there is active logging in the area, and trucks will fill up at the rock pit as well.

Difficulty

During most months of the year, this is a very easy trail, often kept clear and smooth by heavy log truck use throughout the week. Very few ruts and only a slightly steep grade at the very end. This trail can easily be done in most 2WD and all 4WD vehicles, given the trail is not covered in snow. If the trail is snowed over, this difficulty will be affected.
