Pelican Butte Pelican Butte is a steep-sided dormant shield volcano in the Cascade Range of southern Oregon. It is located 28 mi due south of Crater Lake and 12 mi northeast of Mount McLoughlin, and rises over 3800 ft directly above the shore of Upper Klamath Lake. Ice Age glaciers carved a large cirque into the northeast flank of the mountain, forming a steep bowl which is popular in winter with backcountry skiers and snowmobilers. Several proposals have been made over the last few decades for ski area development on the northeast flanks, but none of the proposals has obtained the regulatory approval from the United States Forest Service necessary to proceed with construction. If the ski area is ever built, its skiable vertical of over 3800 ft would be the largest in Oregon exceeding the 3590 ft of Timberline Lodge ski area on Mount Hood.
