THIS Mount Scott (Scott, Mount in the ARM) is a volcanic cinder cone (extinct) southeast of Portland, Oregon. The summit is 1095 feet ASL. This summit is in a suburban neighborhood with little public space within the activation zone.

A good address for activating the summit is 11500 SE Ridgeway Drive, Happy Valley, OR 97086. Note that access is from the south and east - there are restricted streets on the west side of Mount Scott. SE Idleman Road to SE Taylor Road is a suggested route. 

At the intersection of SE Ridgeway Drive and Eastview Drive there is a gated street with a single car parking spot that you might use for activating this summit. Watch out for the overhead power lines! With all the RF sites up there, both HF and 2m FM can be challenging.
