Skinner Butte – Eugene, Oregon

Today’s photo comes from a walk my son and I took up Skinner Butte six years ago. I don’t think you can see the big “O” from many (any?) places in downtown Eugene due to tree growth in the past few decades.

This letter is in the National Register of Historic Places. I suspect most letters that you see on mountain sides (mostly in the western USA I think) are not in the National Register of Historic Places. This one probably got in because of its history. The O was a replacement for the KKKs that the Ku Klux Klan burned onto this same spot in the 1920s.

(L to R in the distance) The Castle, Cathedral Rock, and Wizard’s Hat

High tide in Bandon, Oregon surrounds these rocks with waves. A few hours later and we could walk around nearly all of them and find things like this.
