Sunrise Visitor Center is the highest point where one can drive to. It has all the facilities one needs for comfort and guidance. It is located at a height of 6000 feet. 9000 feet of climb to the top is very demanding. Camp Muir, at 10,188 feet is the final launching site for the summit. Climbers stay here overnight and then start the climb to the summit in the middle of the night. On a clear day from the top, called Columbia Crest, all of Washington and much of Oregon states are visible.
