I ran to Spiral Butte via Sand Ridge trail today. The Spiral Butte trail itself is not heavily used and not recently maintained. It is steep in spots and sometimes disappears among the brush and/or fallen trees, but with a bit of focus, it’s not hard to follow. I tried to do this as a “lollipop” by running up the first trail that goes to the butte and return down the the second one. I never did find the second trail at the top so I ran it as an out-and-back for a total of 12.5 miles and 2,828 feet of gain. Nice runnable trail for much of the length. Not many views, Eve the view from the top is not spectacular. If you wander far enough on the edges of the cliff you can see the side of Mt Rainier. Below is Dig Lake and all of it’s green water with a vie in the near distance of Leech Lake and White Pass ski area.
