Hike 8/18 North Mountain Lookout Sunset / Moonrise
Just a few minutes after our arrival at the lookout, the shower passed, and views emerged
Three Fingers and Whitehorse in the clear to the south of us
Sun pops through the clouds
The 40-foot-high lookout tower was built in the 1960's, and the cabin was restored a few years ago. It is now available to rent for overnight stays on AirBnB
The nearby outhouse has a window to let in the light
Sun disappears behind the mountains a little after 8:00pm
Prairie Mountain to the east
Mount Baker came into view as the clouds dissolved at sunset
Whitehorse again
Baker is unveiled
Mount Higgins and Round Mountain to the west
It cooled off to around 50 degrees at the lookout
Sunset colors over Puget Sound
Last light of day at North Mountain Lookout
At about 8:35, the full moon rose to the southeast
