Trail Information
The Mount Scott Trail begins at the easternmost point of East Rim Drive, 14 miles east of Park Headquarters. The trail heads to the south from East Rim Drive and gains elevation slowly in the first half mile. It begins climbing steeply along the western base of the peak and then turns to the east climbing to a ridge south of the summit. From this point, the trail climbs switchbacks to ascend the peak. The trail traverses northwest to the western ridge then turns to the east for the final ascent. It ends 2 1/2 miles from the trailhead at the summit of Mount Scott (el. 8,929 ft).
Directions
