Palouse Falls

After our visit of the Palouse, we spent a night at Palouse Falls State Park.


This almost 200 foot high waterfall is on the Palouse River west  of the Palouse.



The channel for the Palouse River was carved out by the cataclysmic ice-age Missoula Floods.



There were lots of Yellow-bellied Marmots.



Later in the day the mist created this rainbow.

  1. I believe the politically correct name for the yellow-bellied Marmot is the "Danger-Adverse Marmot."
