Powell Butte includes a great network of trails for wandering to enjoy nature and views. With over 600 acres and 10 miles of trails, there are enough trails that even on a busy day you can find areas that are secluded and quiet. Some trails allow for a cool walk through forest while other trails cross open grassland. An official trail map can be found here. It can be helpful to print out that map to carry with you on the trails. While there are trail markers throughout, the trails twist and turn enough that it can be confusing to find your way.
