If you do,n't want or can walk the moderate Fremont Lookout trail, you still can walk the easy part of this trail to the Frozen lake. You'll take the Sourdough ridge and have a super view of Mt Rainier in front.The Huckleberry valley is at your right after 800 m. The were plenty of alpine flowers next to the trail.We... More

This was my first hike from Sunrise Visitor center. I went with my hiking friend and was surprised to see stunning views. Mount Fremount Lookout has varying vista views. Its rocky at the end and weather can change very often. Lake was partly frozen. Sunrise is open only during summer so there is only a limited window of opportunity to... More

My husband and I have been wanting to do this hike for years. It was far better than we had dreamed it would be. It is not a long hike, a little over 5 miles round trip. You gain elevation obviously, but some of the trail is actually level or slightly downhill. There are continuous views and vistas of lakes,... More

I have hiked this trail many many times. The views of Mt. Rainier are fabulous. The trail is mostly above treeline so wear sunscreen!!! We always see tons of marmots and pikas on this trail. We have seen mountain goats near here too. The trail gets far enough away from Frozen Lake to get away from the crowds too. This... More

The Mt. Fremont Lookout Trail is an easy hike. The elevation change is minimal across the distance walked. The trail takes you out to an old Fire Service Lookout Tower. The views are stunning. Seattle is visible to the north. Vancouver Island can be seen to the NW. If the Air Force is flying out of McChord AFB, the airplanes... More

We did this hike in the beginning of August 2011. It was an unusually cold summer, which meant snow was still present on the higher elevations. It was, however, a perfect day, 55° and sunny, clear blue sky. We started in the morning and began the easy gentle climb to the top of tMt. Fremont. Along the way, we passed... More
