East Buttes

The East Buttes are made up of several extinct volcanoes in and around Gresham, Oregon, United States, which are part of the Boring Lava Field.

The land in this area is dominated by black cottonwood, red alder, and Douglas-fir.

There are also many non-native species present, such as Himalayan blackberry and European holly, a large stand of which is found around the middle of Saddle Trail.

Somewhere in the forest is an old bus used to move water pipes for the planned Mount Hood Freeway.

[citation needed] Much of the land on Gabbert Hill was previously designated for a subdivision called Darby Ridge,[2] but was acquired by Metro and the City of Gresham in 2007.
