Tieton River Rafting
The Tieton River is the most popular whitewater river rafting trip in the state of Washington during the month of September because it is the only whitewater to be found during the month of September. After all the other Cascade rivers have run dry, the Tieton River re-hydrates for three purposes: salmon, irrigation and whitewater rafting. The Class III rapids and waves on the Tieton River are relentless and, as a bonus, the water, having been impounded behind Rimrock Dam all summer long is, by Washington standards, warm. Orion breaks up the 14 mile river trip at the halfway point and provides a hot meal and a warming campfire should the weather warrant it.
