This little hike is right down the road from us, you can walk out to Pinehurst Rd take a right and keep going straight to Mock road . About halfway down Mock road across from the pot farm turn left onto another gravel road blocked to cars with large rocks. This will take you all the way to the summit of the Butte. Great place to see the sunset and get a little hike in! Approx 400 ft elevation gain
