Title: Glass Buttes Knappin
Post by: bushman on March 13, 2013, 09:13:11 pm

This is my first time goin to the Glass Buttes Knappin. I was wondering where everyone goes to camp after they pull off of the highway and head down Obsidian Dr.? Thanks

You go in there a ways and kinda squirrel around and bye-n-bye you will be in a kinda gully and you'll see some junipers down on your left with obvious camping spots but keep going a little ways more and you will get to some nice big juniper on your right and the ground covered in debitage and fire rings and beautiful people beating on rocks. Stop There.  '  Frank

Less poetic than Sparrow, perhaps, just drive in until you come to the first porta-potty.  It will be on your right, as is the camp.  Camping is from just before there all the way (sometimes) to the stock pond, which is also on the right.  It's about 2 miles to the stock pond so you'll be seeing the first porta-potty at about 1 3/4 miles.

Hoo boy! I am looking forward to at least getting there on Saturday. My son lives in Bend and we are coming up to see him - but a chance to get to Glass Buttes! Not going to pass it up!
