Tieton State Airport is in Rimrock, Washington. The field elevation is 2,964 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 2,509 ft long and surfaced with grass and small gravel. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 3,964 ft MSL. The airport sits in mountainous terrain. The ground rises to the northeast. Trees are reported near runway 02 on the hill or mountain side. That makes the departure and arrival picture worth a careful look before you get there.
This field is closed from 1 October to 1 June except for approved public safety and law enforcement helicopter operations. During the closed period, expect airport winter recreation activity. Vehicles, pedestrians and animals may also be on or near the airport. Pilots should plan for a backcountry-style arrival and verify current status with the FAA Chart Supplement before going. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service details. Pilots also provide their own tiedown chains.
