Colfax, WA

Travel Guide

"High above the Palouse Hills on the eastern edge of Washington, Steptoe Butte offers unparalleled views of a truly unique landscape. The warm quartzite bluff stands out against soft hills of green and mauve, an occasional barn dotting the landscape. Colors seem to shift and change in the light.

"The butte contains some of the oldest rock in the Pacific Northwest, and it marks the border of the original North American Continent.

"Steptoe has, over time, been a wagon road, a hotel site and an observatory location. In addition to inspiring vistas, the 3,612-foot summit displays several interpretive panels that pay homage to its distinctive geology. This day-use park is a must-visit on a leisurely drive through eastern Washington."

The room was older but clean and comfortable. The drawbacks are the noise from rooms above you and outside and lack of sufficient lighting.

Not many restaurant, if you want more, need to go to Pullman with 20 mins driving.

4/5 - Good

Cute town, wished we had time to walk around.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

We were there for a wedding and didn't have time to properly look around the area. However, from the little we did see, it is definitely unique, with the rolling farm fields, wooded valleys, and rural hamlets.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

If you arrive after 9pm, there are limited options to find a place to eat.... like none other than the grocery store.
