Near the Upper Falls of the Palouse River it is possible to hike down into the canyon and see the falls and the canyon from this perspective. In fact it is possible to hike to the top of the Lower Falls from her following the river under the cliff on the right. The basalt formation around which the river runs is the Mohawk, seen now from below.

The falls in the previous picture are just around the corner on the right from this viewpoint. Shown are the Upper Falls of the Palouse River, also know as Squaw Falls, really little more than a series of cascades that drop about 30 feet. The massive basalt formation around which the river runs is known as the Mohawk. These falls are a bit of a hike from the Lower Falls but it is well worth the time and effort.

This is another shot of Upper Palouse Falls, more of a cascade than a falls, but beautiful for all that. The more spectacular lower falls are just around the corner where the river disappears on the right. The formation looming above the falls isa called, I believe, the Mohawk, since from above it looks very much like a mohawk-style haircut.
