I came down Friday before work to do Shriner's Peak. It is one of the four remaining fire lookout staions on Mount Rainier.
The weather didn't look the best for getting good views, but I needed to hike and I think we've seen the last a the good summer days.
Here is the trail as I got out of the forest.
I got to a lookout spot and figured the lookout had to be around there, but then I realized it was up on this hill.
I made it to the top. Shriner Lookout elevation 5,346 ft.
It is interesting that there are solar panels because I didn't think anyone is using the lookout and people come because its historic.
A picture of me, there was another party which was above me that slowed me down a bit. I made sure that I left before them on my way down.
Here's the inside of the lookout. The National Park Map says it takes 4-5 hours and despite slowing down I did it in under 3.5 hours.
