About This Route

50 km of climbing to White Pass Ski Resort (at 4,500 feet). Highway 12 has minimal to light traffic with intermitant wide to narrow shoulders. Narrowest points are at lower elevations where Highway 12 crosses the Tieton River (two seperate bridges which are fairly close to each other) and further up on the ascending side of the road where recent storms washed out part of the shoulder's asphalt. Another point of concern is a tunnel near Rimrock Dam. Tunnel is a couple of hundred meters(?) long, so bring a light, and the road surface is often wet from water permiating tunnel's ceiling and walls. Winds can be tricky, tend to blow downhill in the morning and uphill in the afternoon (thus riders may be fighting the wind). 50 km steady climb and descent with steep climb on the Wenas-Naches Grade (17 km from Selah start point) makes for a good century prep. Of note is this route's mileage. 71.197 km equals 44 miles. My Cateye recorded this as 52.25 miles one way and 104.74 round trip. Makes for a challenging ride.
