Starting on Rim Drive, the trail is about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long. It has many switchbacks , and ends at the fire lookout tower on the summit. [ 11 ] [ 14 ] [ 15 ] The trailhead is at an elevation of 7,683 feet (2,342 m), and the trail climbs approximately 1,479 feet (451 m) to the top of Mount Scott at 8,934 feet (2,723 m).
The Cascade volcanoes have had more than 100 eruptions over the past few thousand years, many of them explosive eruptions. [21] However, certain Cascade volcanoes can be dormant for hundreds or thousands of years between eruptions, and therefore the great risk caused by volcanic activity in the regions is not always readily apparent.

Mount Bailey is a relatively young tephra cone and shield volcano in the Cascade Range, located on the opposite side of Diamond Lake from Mount Thielsen in southern Oregon, United States. Bailey consists of a 2,000-foot (610 m)-high main cone on top of an old basaltic andesite shield volcano .

Yamsay Mountain is a large shield volcano in the Cascade Range of south-central Oregon, located about 35 miles (56 km) east of Crater Lake on the border between Klamath County and Lake County. It is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc but is located in a mountain range 30 to 50 miles (50 to 80 km) behind the main Cascade volcanic front.

The Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is being subducted under the North American Plate, leading to volcanic activity in the Cascades like at West Crater. In southern Washington state, the Cascade Range, which sits south of the dacitic Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, spans 600 miles (970 km) from British Columbia in Canada to Lassen Peak in northern California in the United States.
