This image was taken from a drive-up spot, looking onto the rolling hills of Steptoe Butte. To get to this location, you'll need a car. Reference the GPS coordinates once you're in the park to find the exact location where I stood to get this perspective of the hills. Driving directions from Seattle (about a four and a half hour drive): - Follow I-90 E and WA-26 E to Scholz Rd in Whitman County - Take Hume Rd to Steptoe Butte State Park
