The first time I looked down on Grand Park from Skyscraper Pass, I thought it was a golf course. It’s a beautiful, massive meadow on the north side of Tahoma that is accessible via either Sunrise or Lake Eleanor. I almost always get beautiful reflections at Lake Eleanor.

The views from anywhere in the Grand Park area are incredible. Looking due south is Tahoma itself, views of the Fremont Lookout to the left, and Skyscraper Mountain to the right. Wide open spaces. This is the kind of place to plan on spending a whole day, relaxing, wandering, and not rushing. The only downside is the relentless mosquitoes that swarm most of the summer.
