Located northwest of the historic town of Sisters, Black Butte is a cinder cone butte (or small mountain) situated in the Deschutes National Forest. The Butte is an extinct volcano, which rises above the surrounding plateau to 3,076 feet (938 m) above sea level, forming an impressive geographical feature just north of US Highway 20. Black Butte is a nearly symmetrical cone, with no marks of glaciation.
Black Butte's Big Meadow course is an Audubon International Certified Cooperative Sanctuary course.
