More information on Council Crest Park

Known as the highest point in the city, this spot is where Native Americans once held council. It affords incredible views of the local mountains, the coastal range and, of course, the city. At the top of the hill, park your car and check out the educational plaques in the viewing area. This breathtaking spot showcases Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, Mount Hood and Mount Adams. Make sure it is a clear day when you visit; a gray day means you will be in the clouds.
