Sunrise side of mountain. Gorgeous day and only the second day cars were allowed to drive to Sunrise. Parking lot was full, trails were full. Hiked to Fremont lookout at an estimated 7200' - trail in excellent condition. Many volunteer rangers on the trail and proved to be helpful to many of the first time hikers. Emmons Glacier was spectacular and from the lookout you are able to see down to the Carbon River.

Sun poked through and allowed us to get up to the lookout one last time before winter weather hit (that night snow fell). Well maintained trail, long gradual elevation gain. Great 360 degree views when the weather is clear. Really windy on this hike and nearly blew us over. Fall colors are really not prominent in the Sunrise area, but still beautiful scenery. Visitors center is closed for the season, road will close by 10/15/18.
