Fremont Lookout - Mt. Rainier, WA


The trail to Fremont Lookout begins to ascend dramatically soon after Frozen Lake...moderate to strenuous. The views are marvelous along the way....Mt. Rainier, Burroughs mountain, Skyscraper mountain, Berkeley Park. At the top, the view north of the lookout offers the entire range of the North Cascades...Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak, Mt. Stuart and other peaks that you may be familiar with. What a view! 

At Frozen Lake where the main trail splits, you also have a choice to hike other adventures like Burroughs mountain, Shadow Lake, Berkeley Park, Mystic Lake/Wonderland, and much more. I explored Berkeley Park down towards the valley to see fall colors....berry bushes and heather are just turning colors now. I returned to Sunrise via Shadow Lake. Two thumbs up!
