High Rock — Monday, Jun. 16, 2025

South Cascades > White Pass/Cowlitz River Valley

A beautiful sunrise hike to High Rock Lookout is always so rewarding! We left Seattle at 1:15am and got to the trailhead by 330am. The last few miles to the trailhead has several potholes so drive slow. The trail is well maintained.  We needed headlights for about an hour and then it was bright enough to see the trail. We got to the summit a little before sunrise and enjoyed seeing all the peaks from this summit. My strava stats was 3.5 miles, a little over 1300 ft elevation gain. We spent a lot of time at the summit soaking in the views. We were back home by 930am.
