On Saturday 25 June we were once again heading back from Eastern Washington. It had been almost 2 years to the day since I had been on Red Top lookout. The days are long so we had plenty of time to head up. It was an amazing hike and amazing views.

The directions at WTA are perfect for getting to the Trailhead: http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/red-top-lookout. The WTA site says round trip 1.5 miles. My GPS said it was right at 1 mile and 345 ft of elevation hike.

Since it was Field Day and the HF bands were either going to be packed or horrible propagation my wife (KK6AHS) and I decided just to do VHF. It was a lot of fun and plenty of VHF contacts. You can check out more pictures at kf7pxt.blogspot.com.
