Mount Scott is the highest point inside Crater Lake National Park, and the view that you get from the top is absolutely breathtaking! The season to hike to the top of Mount Scott is pretty short since it doesn’t open until July and tends to collect snow and ice starting in late September/early October already. The beginning of the trail starts out gradually wrapping around the side of the mountain. The trail is wide pretty much the entire way up, which makes it easy to pass hikers that are coming down.
