The view is the whole trip. On this highest point on the island of Saipan the location itself is rather bleak and windswept. Can be full of Asian tourists and tour groups on ATV's and 4-wheelers making the drive up very dusty

Though Mt. Tapochao is not really high enough to be up in the clouds there are times when the clouds are low enough to cover the mountain top.

Highest place on the Island of Saipan. View the whole island from one point and take a 360 degree picture. Nice place to see the sunset. Also see the neighboring historic island of Tinian where the famous Enola Gay took off.
