Continuing west on towards White Pass....
The closer I got to the pass the greener and wetter things got. This is definitely a big change from where I was a few hours earlier. It wasn't raining yet, but it sure looked like it wanted to.

There was a tunnel, which led to forested hills.

Soon I came to Rimrock Lake where I could pull off the road to take photos in a few places.

( More photos of Rimrock Lake and the surrounding area. )
After passing the lake, the highway was surrounded by forest.
