Scott Pass Trailhead
From the Scott Pass Trailhead, the 3.4-mile Scott Pass Trail #4068 travels west to tiny South Matthieu Lake where it joins the Pacific Crest Trail #2000 within Three Sisters Wilderness. There are three designated camping spots which are popular with both weekend and Pacific Crest Trail through hikers.
Before reaching the Pacific Crest Trail #2000 junction from Scott Pass Trailhead you will reach the junction with Trout Creek Tie Trail #4067 which provides access to the Millican Crater Trail #4066.
This trail enters the Three Sisters Wilderness shortly after leaving the trailhead. Wilderness Permits are required for both day use and overnight stays from this trailhead. See "Permit Info" below for more details.
