Nature
The Orland Buttes are two isolated hills in northern California that rise sharply from the northern Central Valley near Black Butte Lake, about 7.2 miles west of Orland and Interstate 5. Hambright Creek separates the buttes, with the southern summit reaching 1,037 feet and the northern about 943 feet. Beside a reservoir built for flood control and irrigation, they form a striking natural landmark in an otherwise open agricultural landscape. Their prominence, easy access, and broad summit views have made them a popular place for hiking and climbing, valued for the contrast they provide with the surrounding fields and water.
