Mt. Fremont Fire Lookout
Perched on an open 7,181-foot knoll on rocky Mount Fremont, this historic structure is the highest of the park’s lookouts. From this amazing gem you can look north across the broad emerald plain of Grand Park. Beyond is a seemingly infinite wave of rolling ridges on the way to Puget Sound. The Olympics rise above the fog and haze in the Puget Trough. Look northeast and trace the Cascade Crest all the way to Mount Baker. Then turn south and try to keep your senses from exploding as you savor an in-your-face view of Rainier’s impressive Willis Wall and sprawling Emmons Glacier. The hike is also filled with sweeping views of Mount Rainier and all of her glacial glory. The Mt Freemont Trails starts at the Frozen Lake Junction and there are many great trails leading to the junction depending on where you want to start your hike (the easiest being Sunrise Park Rd - more a trail then road - to Wonderland Trail).
