This was our first trip to Sunrise. We normally go to the Paradise side, but it still had snow cover and we didn't want to deal with that again. Sunrise Point is the highest elevation you can reach on Mt. Rainier by car at 6,400 feet. We did a 4.2 mile hike up to Dege Peak and were greeted by a mass of bugs that included mosquitoes. We stayed at the top for about 1 minute and then had to head down to escape the bugs. We had bug spray on, but it didn't ward them off.
