Reviewed By juanita_v - Woodland, United States
Surrounded by rolling hills of farmland, Steptoe Butte is geologic anomaly and an island of a completely different habitat. Want a thrill? Drive up to the top. The view is amazing, the drive is a dizzying spiral. There are pit toilets at the base and at the peak. It's windy at the summit. Picnic tables are at the base. And don't forget the Washington Discover pass.
