This morning’s sunrise was viewed from Gobblers Knob Lookout, built in 1933 according to the National Park’s standard lookout design. It was a bit of a chore, 11.5-mile out-and-back, although, the 2,660′ elevation gain was “easier” than most. It’s the lowest elevation of the four lookouts inside Mount Rainier National Park, but also closest to the mountain. This is also one of the few lookouts that affords a bicycling opportunity as you can ride part way on the still closed Westside Road. You can walk the Westside Road but bringing a bike for the first 3.8 miles will certainly make the trip a little quicker. |
