One of Washington’s iconic fire tower hikes, the Mount Fremont Lookout Trail should definitely be on your bucket list. The 5.6 mile round trip hike brings you to the historical fire lookout, built back in 1934! The mountain views are pretty incredible, but be sure to watch the meadows for wildlife, too. There’s not much shade on the majority of this trail, so pack sun-smart clothing (like a sunshirt) and extra sunscreen.
