USA Grand Park from Mt. Freemont Lookout
Mt Freemont Lookout is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Mount Rainier National Park. Droves of visitors hike here for views of Mount Rainier itself, often ignoring the incredible views to the north.
Photography Tips
I hiked north, way from the lookout, away from crowds to take this shot. 25 feet away left me alone to enjoy the stunning orange sunset and light rays sprawling over Grand Park.
