Day Hike - Eunice Lake & Tolmie Peak Lookout
Tolmie Peak and Eunice Lake packed with eye popping views when it comes to scenery. Hike in shade until you reach the ridgeline and if a clear day, you'll see Mt St Helens to the south and Mt Baker to the north. The route is out and back and has great potential for wildlife viewing.
