Rock Mountain

Near the summit of Stevens Pass in Washington is Rock Mountain, with Rock Lake (above) tucked away in a tarn near the top. The trail to Rock Mountain from the Nason Creek side of Nason Ridge has some serious southern exposure: read, it's hotter than Hades.

The trail is four miles, with elevation gain from trailhead to summit of nearly 5,000 feet. At Rock Lake, it's still a mile to the summit. Nice view of Glacier Peak, though, eh? That's my longtime buddy Frank Czubiak (below) in the foreground.
