		The tower is an impressive 136 feet (41.5 m) tall, but the building has 228 more feet (69.5 m) below ground, so most of the building is in fact not visible.
		The construction with the two mirrors all the way at the top of the tower looks a bit like a coelostat, but where the image that comes out of a coelostat appears to stay fixed when the Sun moves, the image that comes out of the Vacuum Tower Telescope rotates when the Sun moves.

		The hike along the ridge to the peak traversed grass, slabs, and stable talus, bypassing a large snowfield shown on the 7.5’--it was easy travel, class 1-2 initially, followed by some optional but enjoyable third class on great rock along the spine of the ridge.
