The story
Hillman Peak is an 8,151 feet (2,484 m) summit on the west rim of Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. It is the highest peak on the caldera rim and ranks as the second-highest peak in the park. It is situated 1.5 mile northwest of Wizard Island. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,973 feet above the lake in 0.57 mile. Rim Drive traverses the western slope of the peak. Precipitation runoff from the peak's east slope drains into Crater Lake whereas the west slope drains to the Rogue River via Copeland Creek.
