Ever Been to Palouse Falls?



A long, long time ago icy lakes melted and froze, melted and froze. When they did, they sent huge walls of water across the Northwest, causing what are called the Missoula floods. The Missoula floods changed the landscape by carving canyons and making new rivers. Some of the rivers were so big they made waterfalls way bigger than Niagara Falls. There are a few dry falls around the Northwest from the floods. This one isn't dry. Palouse Falls is about 30 miles north of Walla Walla. Nice little park there, and trails to the falls if you have the time. Best in the fall, I think, or early in the morning. Bloody hot in the afternoon in July. Sally and I took pictures then walked really fast back to the car and turned on the air conditioning.
