Sunday August 27th
Cyd and Dad drove to Sunrise in Mt Rainier National Park and hiked into Mt Fremont fire lookout. It was a hot day and there was no shade. The building looked out over the north region of the park. Grand Park can be clearly seen. To the northwest the Natural Bridge can be seen with binoculars if you know where to look. Smoke from the forest fire near the Carbon River can be seen and smelled. Two elderly volunteer park rangers hiked in, opened the lookout and raised the flag. We were entertained by a pair of small hawks during our walk. An ice cream cone at the visitor center was a good way to end our day.
