Park Butte Lookout

"Pacific Northwest Trailhead, FS-13, Concrete Park Butte is about as close as you can get to summiting Mount Baker without actually standing on its peak. This fire lookout sits atop a rock face right in the shadow of Koma Kulshan. The well-maintained, 7.5-mile out-and-back hike gains 2,220 feet of elevation and features unobstructed views of Baker, alpine meadows and rushing rivers. ​​If you look closely from the top, you may even be able to spot mountaineers making their way toward the mountain’s summit."
