The lookout sits on top of the highest point of land of Oregon Butte. Funny that they'd call this after the neighbor state rather than say Washington Butte or something.

Voted 10/10 | Oregon Butte is named after ugly Washington's beautiful southern neighbor. It must be the most beautiful place in Washington. | | Posted Oct 28, 2004 4:20 pm |

Hasn't voted | No, it's not spectacular area. The mountain used to be called Oregon Butt. | | Posted Oct 28, 2004 5:36 pm |

Hasn't voted | Actually it was originally named "Oregun's Butt" to show our appreciation and honor to our neighbors to the south. We've saved our most spectacular mountains for the areas to the north. Dennis has seen the north cascades and he knows that we have the real mountains and Oregon has the pretend ones. | | Posted Oct 28, 2004 6:04 pm |

Hasn't voted | And a killer of rotten rock at that. Oregon Butt is so tame it'll only cause ya to get sleepy. | | Posted Oct 28, 2004 6:36 pm |

Hasn't voted | I must say that I did find the deep canyons cutting off high plateau slopes at the east end of the WA Blues to be quite fantastic. I drove down that way after doing Asotin & Garfield Countys' highpoints. I drove east on FR-43 to Asotin Creek thence to the town of Asotin. Probably better to go down that way than up because you get to look out from the mountainside as you're doing so. To see those little farms tucked away in the narrow canyon was kind of neat. | | Posted Oct 28, 2004 7:19 pm |

Hasn't voted | Very true words and nice to hear them for this pretty much unknown area. I know Dennis is going to get pretty excited to get to this area and pick up three more sweet county highpoints. | | Posted Oct 28, 2004 8:09 pm |

Voted 10/10 | I'm just tingling with anticipation of climbing anything with the name Oregon attached. | | Posted Oct 29, 2004 1:06 pm |
