After a morning hike, it was warm even at 5,700 feet. So we took a drive up to the rim for a short one. Deb had never been up to the Baker Butte Lookout, so up we went. I was shocked to see the gate at the bottom open, so we could have driven to the top. I was also surprised to find the Lookout Lady descending the stairs to take her lunch break. She said if we waited half an hour, she'd let us up in the cab. I told her I'd thought this lookout had been converted to cameras. She said it's equipped with cameras, but that she was there for the season.
We climbed the stairs to the bottom of the locked cab and took in the views (and breezes). At 8,800+ feet, it was 81 degrees.
I sampled a trail that took off from the bench to see where it went. Short and sweet, it took me back to where I started.
