Mount Scott

Difficulty	Distance	Steps	Elevation Gain
Strenuous	4.4 Miles One-way	12,907 est.	1,448

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

Moderately streneous ascent of the park's highest peak. Spectacular views in all directions. Best in morning, when the light is ideal for lake viewing. May be closed until mid-July due to snow.
