Palouse Falls


This Saturday we took a drive out to Palouse Falls. I'll be breaking from my traditional blogging style by posting a lot of pictures with just a little commentary. But, rest assured, it really is me posting this.













We hiked up the hill to an overlook shelter and got a better view of the whole landscape.








We ate our picnic lunch in a slight drizzle of rain.








"Hey, let's go hike up there to get an even closer look."






A very important message.






Ally started to bawl when we yelled at her for not wanting to hold our hands and trying to run. I thought she was crying because she didn't want to die. (We DID tell her she might fall off the cliff and die and be gone from us forever and then Cora wouldn't have a big sister anymore.) Turns out she was MOST upset about getting into trouble and potentially losing a book for not listening.










Beautiful views without any fences + elevated, uneven, and rocky path = one awe-inspired but very nervous mother.


On the way home we experienced the rolling hills of Eastern Washington, with the brown and green fields. This picture doesn't quite do it justice. I think this was in the little town of Prescott.

Beautiful! I've never even heard of those falls. How far are they from your place?
