Frenchman Coulee — Saturday, Jun. 27, 2020

We hiked along the top of the ridge separating Echo Basin and Frenchman Coulee, then hiked up Frenchman Coulee and finished by walking down the road for a mile back to our car. There were beautiful views of the Columbia and the canyons, and the waterfall is still flowing at the head of the coulee. At the top of the ridge, the trail fades away in places; it is easy to lose the trail, but very hard to get lost. There were also some steep sections with loose dirt descending from the ridge that were difficult. Wear long socks in the coulee so that your shoes do not fill with sand. Great hike!
