I finally had the opportunity to see what fires look like from a Washington Fire Lookout this weekend.
The Alpine Lookout is at the end of a 5 mile hike. This is one of the most popular hikes along the US 2 corridor, and it's easy to understand why: a historic and active fire lookout, an enclave for mountain goats, miles of flower-blooming meadows, jaw-slacking views of Lake Wenatchee, Glacier Peak, and hundreds of other peaks. |
