    Tips

    July 3, 2023

    Hiking

    At the Granite Mountain summit awaits a privileged view of the surrounding mountains, including the beautiful Mount Rainier.
    The type of snow that falls in this mountain range tends to be wet and heavy, because of the proximity to high moisture air near the ocean. This results in high avalanche danger, so be sure to research conditions before hiking to the summit.

    Hiking

    At the summit stands a lookout cabin/fire tower, which was originally built in 1924 to keep watch for fires. While it is no longer used for its original purpose, the lookout deck has a spectacular view for those who make it to the top.
