Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, note that this open-air location does not have covered canopy sections, so utilizing sunshades in the warm summer months is recommended. During major seasonal events like the Central Washington State Fair or regional hop harvest events, allow extra travel time along WA-24 due to increased agricultural and event-related traffic. Keep your vehicle securely locked and store personal valuables out of sight when leaving your car unattended.
