Scouters Mountain

Getting There

From I-205 in Clackamas: Get off on Exit 14 and head east on Sunnyside Road for and head up for 2.8 miles. Make a left onto 152nd Street this will curve around and then turn into 147th Street. There will be an obvious sign on the right. Turn there and take either to the stop at lower trailhead or drive up to the upper parking and walk 500 horizontal feet to the summit. 

Route

This is basically a drive up. However there is a good two mile loop trail one can take from the lower parking area. The Shelter Trail on the upper part of the mountain is a paved walking trail that only goes .3 miles roundtrip and minimal elevation gain. 

Red Tape

The park is open from dawn to dusk 365 days a year. There is no overnight camping. 

When to Climb

This park can be visited almost any time of the year. It did close briefly after a major winter hit it in 2017.

Accommodations

There are plenty of accommodations throughout the city of Portland.
