Recently (summer of '01) we went bike riding in the Manastash area (central Washington State), and these are the pictures we took. We had intended to go for a fairly relaxing ride, but as seems to be normal, things got out of control. We ended up on top of Frost Mountain, where there used to be a lookout tower, used as a lookout for forest fires.

1st Nice lookout we got to

This doesn't look like a big hill, but we can barely walk on it.
