The Little Grand Canyon In Washington Is A Big Secluded Treasure
When you stand at the top of Palouse River Canyon, you might feel like you’re on top of the world. But believe it or not, it has a depth of about 1,000 feet, as opposed to the Grand Canyon’s 6,000 feet. So that’s why, despite its pretty massive size, it’s known as Washington’s little Grand Canyon. If you have yet to explore Palouse Falls State Park, you should add it to your to-do list when it’s safe to do so.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
The state park was founded in 1951 after several generous donors donated the land.
The Missoula Floods also formed a lot of other geographical wonders in Washington, including the Columbia River.
If you go on a weekday morning, you might even enjoy some quiet solitude.
Palouse Falls was officially declared Washington's official state waterfall in 2014 thanks to a group of students at Washtucna Elementary School.
The best way to explore it is by hiking the two mile Palouse Falls Trail.
In the meantime, these stunning photos are the next best thing.
