Hillman Peak, while not the highest peak in Crater Lake National Park (that belongs to Mount Scott), is the highest peak on the rim of Crater Lake, a giant caldera from the volcanic eruption of Mount Mazama some 7,700 years ago.
With a short approach and little in the way of elevation gain, the small, rocky summit can be had with minimal effort. The views, as one might imagine, are terrific.
