Fremont Lookout: Sunset & Buck Moon Hike
Details
Join us for a twilight hike to Fremont Lookout! Starting from Sunrise Visitor Center, we'll take in views of Mount Rainier, watch the sunset from the fire lookout, and stay to see the full Buck Moon rise over the Cascades.
We’ll organize carpools at the Park & Ride or among ourselves, but feel free to drive yourself and meet us directly at the visitor center.
Note: This event is weather-dependent; mountain conditions are unpredictable, and clear visibility isn't guaranteed. For those staying overnight, we can camp at White River Campground (first-come, first-served; $20/night).
Bring warm layers, water, a headlamp, and snacks!
Gas money $30 if you carpool
