14.
Mount Scott
This is what remains
of a parasitic satellite cone of Mount Mazama that grew near its eastern base,
presenting on the east a classic symmetrical volcanic silhouette. The western
slope has been eroded by glaciation. It was built up before Mazama's collapse
and was probably a secondary vent during Mazama's activity. Mount Scott is the
park's highest peak, at 8,926 feet.
