Join us for the Big Butte Challenge, where families, friends, and individuals come together to explore eight butte-iful buttes & breweries across Central Oregon, between May 24 – October 1.
Participants hike or run each butte on their schedule, and then head to the sponsored brewery to celebrate their victory with a complimentary pint. Prizes will be awarded to the first to summit all buttes, best photos, and more. Gather your favorite people or challenge your work buddies to a summertime showdown. The Big Butte Challenge is the ultimate chance to get outside, explore new heights, and celebrate the beautiful mountains Central Oregon has to offer.
