Discovery Point

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Moderate	2.0 Miles One-way	5,029 est.	834

Steps are estimated from the hike distance and a difficulty-based stride length.

Formula: distance in miles × 5,280 feet ÷ stride length

Stride length is adjusted because tougher trails usually shorten each step:

Difficulty	Stride length
Unknown	2.2 ft
Accessible	2.3 ft
Easy	2.6 ft
Moderate	2.1 ft
Difficult	2.0 ft
More Difficult	1.9 ft
Strenuous	1.8 ft

The result is rounded to the nearest whole step and shown as an estimate.

Notes

Easy-to-moderate trail along the rim of Crater Lake, connecting Rim Village with Discovery Point. Some ups and downs. Fine lake views. Use caution near cliff edges.
