Mount Scott, Volcanic summit in Crater Lake National Park, United States.
Mount Scott rises to 2,722 meters as the highest point in Crater Lake National Park, featuring a two-story fire lookout tower at its peak.
The mountain earned its name from Oregon pioneer Levi Scott, who established the settlement of Scottsburg during the western expansion period.
The mountain lands hold deep connections to the Modoc and Klamath tribes, who inhabited the region before European settlers arrived.
The summit trail spans 4.4 miles round trip with 1,250 feet elevation gain, requiring approximately two hours to complete at regular walking speed.
The mountain formed through andesitic lava flows 420,000 years ago, making it one of the older volcanic structures in the Oregon Cascades.
