Stop At: Mount Scott, Crater Lake National Park, OR
The Mount Scott Trail at Crater Lake, starting near Crater Lake Lodge off East Rim Drive, spans about 2.5 miles one way, providing a moderately strenuous hike culminating in the park's highest point at 8,929 feet. Trekking through rocky terrain and switchbacks, hikers ascend steadily, rewarded by breathtaking panoramas as they near the summit. The well-marked trail reveals glimpses of the surrounding beauty before unveiling a magnificent vista from the peak—Crater Lake stretches below, Wizard Island emerges within the crystalline waters, and an expansive view of forests and mountains unfolds. Weather can shift suddenly, so readiness for variable conditions, including potential wind and cooler temperatures, especially at higher elevations, is crucial for a safe and enjoyable trek.
