Author: Ron Tagliapietra
The south entrance station to the National Park and the Mt. Scott trailhead
from OR 62 is open all year except in bad weather to Crater Lake Lodge
overlooking the lake from the southwest. For the Mount Scott trailhead take
the East Rim Road around the east side of the lake, most of which is one
way clockwise around the lake. The East Rim Road is typically open from
late June through September. From the trailhead the trail climbs from an
elevation of 7696 and extends about two miles to the summit.
The aerial view is superb across the fabulous lake and south to distant
Mount Shasta.
