Short on time but still want to get some exercise before your turkey dinner? Here's a short but steep hike that will get your heart pumping. Join me to go inside the newly constructed fire lookout tower on Pinnacle Peak in Enumclaw with a side trip to see Mt. Rainier if we have cooperative weather. Details about the trail and a map of the area can be found here.
Please be sure that your fitness level is appropriate for the 1000 ft gain in about a mile and a half.
South Trailhead at 8am. No parking pass required.
