July 22nd was a beautiful summer day.  Five CONC members hiked through a forest of towering trees, cascading creeks, rocky slopes  interspersed with Huckleberry bushes to reach the summit of a former fire lookout with commanding views of  Marion lake and Cascade peaks.   One trail junction was renamed after some pesky mosquitoes but it was just a momentary inconvenience as the group gained elevation.  Roz O'Donague led the group on a short side hike on the return, which yielded the sounds and a view from the top of a waterfall.  A hike well worth a return.
