This is one of those hikes that is super high reward for not much work. Most of the work is braving the Mowich Lake road for 17 miles.
I hiked to the lake, then to the lookout and beyond slightly along the ridge to Tolmie Peak. Views are undeniably great! I wasn't alone for very much of it- my timing was somewhat in between two prime hiking slots, the day hikers ending on my way up and the sunset hikers beginning on my way down. I noticed someone with an off leash pet- just to reiterate here for anyone unaware, they aren't allowed on the trails in MRNP.
Glad to have this one in the books, and on retainer as an excellent option for more seasonable hiking friends or out of town visitors who want an incredible PNW nature experience without a ton of work.

Thanks! Late afternoon sun made for some interesting photo opportunities. That curled tree is atop the ridge between the lookout and the peak.
