Granite Mountain Trail to the Firewatch Station - Amputee Outdoors #pnw #hiking #mountains

This hike is a bit of a thigh burner. In just over four miles you'll gain 3,8000 feet in elevation. However, the views are worth it. The reason they built a fire watch station at the top of Granite Mountain, is because on a clear day, you have a 360-degree view of the Cascade mountains for miles. I was fortunate on this trip to be given a tour of the fire watch station, so make sure to watch to the end. This was also the first time I used my new hiking umbrella and with the temperature hitting 95F it made a huge difference. Much cooler with it. (Link below)
