Mount Fremont Lookout and First Burroughs Hike at Mt Rainier

This hike starts at Sunrise on Mount Rainier. We hiked to both Mount Fremont lookout (2.75 miles one way with a 1200 ft elevation gain), then up to First Burroughs (another 2 miles and about a 350 ft climb) then the Burroughs Loop Trail back to Sunrise (another 2.7 miles or so)

 We hiked to Frozen Lake along the Sourdough Ridge Trail seeing the moon ahead of us.

 From the far end of Frozen Lake take the trail to the right.

This part of the trail is 1.3 miles to the lookout at the end of the ridge.

 From the lookout, there were marvelous views. Behind us to the south, Mt Rainier

To the northwest, Mt Baker (with zoom)

 To the north, Glacier Peak (zoom)

 To the west, across the Cascades and Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains.

 We returned to Frozen Lake and took the hike up to First Burroughs, 

the trail heading off to the right beyond Frozen Lake

 With such clear skies, we stopped at Sunrise Point on our drive from Sunrise, 

note Mt Adams in the far distance.
