Overview

Mann Butte is a short, nearly two-mile extension off of NF-8620-070. It’s a trail that could easily be missed, but doing so would rob you of a spectacular view. Waypoint 3 offers both an amazing view of Mount Adams, as well as a fantastic campsite; albeit potentially windy. The drive to and from the viewpoint is a bit rough, and thus 4WD is recommended, but it is well worth the view, even if on foot. There are two additional dispersed campsites on this trail, at Waypoints 2 and 4, if the viewpoint is already full. While Waypoint 4 does mark the end of the trail, it does continue on, though it is too narrow for vehicles. Regardless if you’re looking for a place to camp, just in the area on a day trip, or crossing all of Washington state, this trail has a view that you won’t want to miss. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route. Visit Overlanding Across Washington for more information, including which trails to take next.
