Rimrock and Tieton River
On the east side of White Pass the byway passes Rimrock Lake,
a large reservoir on the Tieton River. In the fall, larch trees on
surrounding hillsides turn a clear yellow, celebrating the season
before winter snowfall.
East of Rimrock Lake, the Tieton River is a sparkling ribbon in a
narrow, rocky canyon. Volcanic rock formations border the road,
including colonnades, pillow lava, and other unique geological
features. Trails and camping areas are located throughout the
Rimrock and Tieton areas.
