"We lose ourselves in the things we love. We find ourselves there also."

My typical day consists of tying shoes, answering the same question 6 times, and watching multiple nose pickers blatantly dig for gold while making direct eye contact with me. The life of an elementary teacher is far from boring. As many people like to constantly point out, teachers have the "summer off." *Insert heavy eye roll* Although I personally work 2 jobs year-round, in my free time you can catch me on one of the million outstanding trails in the PNW. Born and raised here, strangely I didn't get into hiking until a few years ago, and now, I'm making up for lost time! Between the creative and fun things we do in my classroom, and all of the incredible trails and views I explore, I thought using a blog as a platform to recount these memories would be something I could look back on years from now and cherish. If you choose to spend a portion of your own free time reading this, I will now disclaim that I am not a professional journalist, I suck with technology, and I'm surprised I even know what a blog is. Reader discretion is advised. And if you are reading this- thank a teacher.

Mount Fremont Lookout Trail

Mount Fremont had been on my hiking to do list for quite some time! I was finally able to explore it this summer and it took my breath away (much like any hike in MRNP). This hike was fairly quick, and fire lookouts are always a fun place to relax and take a snack break.

About the Hike

For some reason, this hike seemed harder than it was. Maybe it was my backpack full of booze and charcuterie board weighing me down, and the anticipation of my lunch at the lookout made it feel like forever to get there. But in reality, this hike was fairly quick, and could be doable by most people in decent shape. It's 5.6 miles RT, and only 800 feet of elevation gain. The worst part about this hike is that there is absolutely no tree cover if the sun is out. Bring lots of water and sunscreen! I DEFINITELY recommend this hike to any and everyone! Happy hiking!
