Hoodoo Butte is a 5700' (1737 m) volcanic cinder cone located on the crest of the Cascade Range in central Oregon.

On your map, it's about 2.5 miles southwest of Santiam Pass (Highway US 20, milepost 81), and about 1.5 miles west of the Pacific Crest Trail. For the GPS-inclined, that's about 44.402 N, 121.882 W (WGS84 datum).

Weather forecasts for the Northern Oregon Cascades - Santiam Pass area and other zones are provided by the National Weather Service office in Portland, OR.

Notes:
  • Forest information
  • 2011 06/25 - Added moon rise & set times in the "Light Level" section. While the times appear to be correct, one known bug is that on days when there is not a moon rise or set, a time is computed and given anyway. Beware of moon rise or set times between 11PM and 1AM until this note is removed. (Another good reason not to stay up late.)
  • 2012 03/24 - Requested by Chris O' - Winter snow depth history (see "Related" links) is now available for side-by-side comparison of snow packs. CSV data is automatically generated daily; sample graph will not be updated as frequently.
  • 2012 04/22 - Wind direction sensor removed from service to replace its potentimeter. After 12+ years on top of the mountain it will get a vacation until a replacement part can be found.
  • 2012 04/23 17:24 - Wind speed sensor damaged by a nearby lightning strike.
  • 2012 04/28 - Wind speed sensor repaired. It's bearing has a slight "sticking" problem and will eventually require replacement, but for now it spins.
  • 2012 05/11 - Wind direction sensor repair requires a hard to find part. May need to re-design the sensor to use available parts.
  • 2012 05/11 - Worked on software for sun, moon & twilight display: Events are now listed in the order that they occur. The problem noted on 6/25 is still present, and the effort to solve it prompted this change. Now only one program has to be fixed.
