Sunrise along the Vantage Highway in Central Washington

Connecting Ellensburg and Vantage Washington and just a few minutes away from the buzzing traffic of Interstate 90 lies the Vantage Highway.  Home to the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park and the Wild Horse Wind & Solar Facility.  After shooting the 36 Hour straight Spokane WA to Sandpoint Idaho relay race I decided to spend a couple extra days on the east side of the Cascade Mountains in Central and Eastern Washington.  As I made my way west back to Bellingham I was treated to this wonderful late summer sunrise and rainbow along the Vantage Highway.
