Another gorgeous Sunday in November brought a few of us up Mt Pilchuck. It took us about 3 hours to go up to the top, where they converted a old fire lookout station to a hike shelter. From there, you can see entire valley up to 30 miles away

The trail was well maintained all the way up. Just a little rock scrambling at the last 100 feet. On this blue sky day, it was exhilirating for each of us to get up to the top and enjoy some views. Though it was sunny most of the time, when we got the top, it is so windy and cold that we didnt stay at the shelter for too long. Luckily, Franklink brought the stove, and made us some hot chocolate.
