On this hike we will be starting by heading up from the Sunrise parking lot to the Fremont lookout. Having done Grand Park several times, I am very much looking forward to seeing this up close and the view of Grand Park from the top. From here we will head up the Third Burroughs. This is supposed to be one of the most dramatic and close-up views of Mt. Rainier. The first Burroughs has a nice view, hopefully with some goats. The second Burroughs is where most people turn around as the trail forward is not officially maintained. There is a wonderful view, but for the final and most dramatic, we will be heading to the third Burroughs.
