Gobbler's Knob Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

At Gobbler's Knob you will finally leave the cover of the pine trees and emerge into sunlight. Although the cabin is locked to the public, you can peek in through the windows and take a scenic break at the wooden perimeter of the lookout with views toward Mount Rainier and the Tahoma Glacier. In good weather conditions you can even spot the volcanoes Mount Saint Helens, Mount Adams and Mount Hood.

Lake George and camp/shelter

Highlight • Lake

Lake George is a fairly large alpine lake at 4,305 feet and surrounded by beautiful pine forest. There is a really neat wooden Patrol Cabin and just a few yards further, you can spend the night or a break at a three-sided shelter.
