Summary

Standing at an elevation of approximately 7,020 feet (2,140 meters), this volcanic butte offers remarkable views of the surrounding landscape. Spanning across an area of about 6 square miles (15.5 square kilometers), Odell Butte is a popular destination for mountaineers, hikers, and backcountry skiers.

During the winter season, Odell Butte receives a significant amount of snowfall, transforming it into a winter wonderland. The snowpack on the butte typically ranges from 4 to 10 feet (1.2 to 3 meters), providing excellent conditions for winter sports enthusiasts. This remarkable snowpack not only attracts skiers and snowboarders but also serves as a vital source of runoff for nearby creeks and rivers.

One such creek is Odell Creek, which originates from the northeastern slopes of the butte. Odell Creek eventually flows into Crescent Lake, contributing to its water supply. This connection between Odell Butte and the water systems adds to the ecological significance of the area.

The name "Odell Butte" was derived from William Odell, an early settler in the area during the late 1800s. However, beyond its historical naming, there are no significant legends or lore associated with the butte. Its prominence lies in its natural beauty and recreational opportunities, making it a cherished destination in the Pacific Ranges mountain range.
