Palouse Falls

We were in eastern Washington over the weekend and on Friday visited Palouse Falls State Park. Palouse Falls is in the scablands of southeastern Washington near the town of Washtucna. The falls are on the Palouse River a few miles from its confluence with the Snake River. These, the lower falls, drop approximately 180 feet (55m) into a sheer basalt canyon that is 377 feet (115m) deep and into a huge bowl from which the river flows away south through the canyon. There is also an upper falls that drops 20 feet (6m) around the corner from the top of these falls. We were there last January but wanted to see the falls once again and wanted to show them to our youngest son, Edward, who was with us on the trip.
