Palouse Falls

This is Palouse Falls, designated the official waterfall of Washington State, whatever that means. The falls are the main feature of Palouse Falls State Park and are found on the Palouse River in the area of southeastern Washington known as the Palouse. The falls drop 198 feet (60 meters) in an even deeper canyon. We were there on February 17 after navigating a very muddy and slippery road into the park and not only saw the falls but hiked the cliffs above the falls and the upper canyon where another set of falls (more cascades than falls) are found. The main falls had more water coming over them than we have ever seen and the water was a very dirty brown, as is evident in the photo.
