I took the evening to drive out to the Highrock Lookout trail head and climb to the fire lookout. This lookout is sitting at about 5,685ft; Perched on a shear cliff. The trail is about a 1,350ft gain and can be achieved fairly easily and quickly in the summer months. We ran into a few snow patches while trekking to the top today, although we made it trouble free with little gear.
I took a few pictures of the mountain and surrounding area, but it was GUSTY! up there today... Enough for me to not get anywhere near the edge. I have a several more shots to process, but its bed time.
We were about 40min out for sunset when we left. But the wind just kept picking up, and we only brought one headlamp. (The trail had large slopes of ice and snow and we were slightly ill-prepared for those conditions) I'll be headed back up here in the next few weeks for another go.
