Description
End of day at Palouse Falls State Park, Washington, United States.
Palouse Falls are approximately 200 ft in height. The canyon is carved through multiple layers of flood basalts.
From the Washington State Parks web site: According to a story of the Palouse tribe, the Palouse River once flowed smoothly into Snake River. But four giant brothers, in pursuit of a mythic creature called Big Beaver, speared the great creature five times. Each time Big Beaver was wounded, he gouged the canyon walls, causing the river to bend and change. The fifth time he was speared, he fought the brothers valiantly and tore out a huge canyon. The river tumbled over a cliff at this point to become Palouse Falls. The jagged canyon walls show the deep marks of Big Beaver's claws.

We used to live in Joseph Oregon, and loved making the trip up through Lewiston/Clarkston and over the Tollgate Pass. The rides were great, because not only the getting there was beautiful, the got there was beautiful as well. You've done a great job of presenting this wonderful scene. I have a fair number of pics from there, but none in winter. Really great photo. Thanks for sharing

Is it a major hike in to get to this view? Stunning, indeed. Thank you for joining my Rocks Group. I can't wait to post this image.

Thank you very much for your support Merridy! This beautiful view is available just a few steps away from the parking lot! However capturing this kind of wide angle image is a little intimidating for me, because I have to step right on the edge of the canyon!
