Palouse Falls

---

As we were running ahead of schedule on our way to Walla Walla, I decided to try and fit Palouse falls into our day trip as well. The trip up there was much longer then it seemed on the way back, most likely because I had no clue as to where we were going or how far it was. All in all, we were back on highway 12 on our way to Walla Walla again within 45 minutes.

To get to the Palouse Falls you have to travel by the town of Starbuck and beyond Lyons Ferry on the Snake river. Lyons Ferry looked nice as we drove past it and includes a number of camping spots and also the fish hatchery. If you are looking to go camping in this area Lyons Ferry has more spots and is closer to water then the campground at Palouse Falls.

Palouse Falls itself was beautiful. The pictures that I took don't do the size or feeling you have at the falls justice at all. It is a small stretch of viewing area, with a very long drop into the canyon to the water below. If you are ever in this area, I would recommend stopping to see it.
