The topographical map gives you an idea of how Suntop rises up like an island in the sky.
It is a fairly smooth ride up, but very steep.
Mt Rainier comes into view as you round the final bend.
Suntop gives you a 360 degree panorama that includes the Olympic Mountains, the Cascades, Mt Rainier, and the White River Valley.
Looking down is as amazing as looking out.
Snow often comes early to Suntop.  This ride was on October 9.
A fire tower sits at the highest point.  You can volunteer to stay up here.
