Event Snapshot: The sun rises at 6:45am in September and we plan to catch it on the mountaintops. Join us for a hike up Mount Pilchuck as summer transitions into fall in the PNW. We will be hiking 2,300 feet up the mountain on a 2.7 hike (one way) for panoramic views from a restored fire lookout built in 1921. At the top, we will watch the sun rise with views of Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, and the Olympics at 5,300 feet in the air. Fire up your calves and get ready to climb!
