Cascade foothills terrain an hour and a half east of Seattle
Cascade foothills terrain an hour and a half east of Seattle. The elevation changes are real but manageable, and the mountain air makes every breath feel earned. Resort golf in Washington often means cart path only and pace problems. Rope Rider sidesteps most of that. Walking is permitted and the routing stays sensible enough to make it worthwhile. Not the marquee course at Suncadia, but maybe the better walk. The kind of Pacific Northwest day trip that justifies leaving the city behind.
