Palouse Falls — Sunday, May. 24, 2015

Eastern Washington > Palouse and Blue Mountains
Palouse Falls from the top
We arrived around 2pm but found a long line of cars waiting to get into parking lots. The ranger stopped each car to make sure each car had available lot before letting one in. It was one of the 3-day weekends, so a lot of people came to visit the falls, in all ages, and many with dogs. It was a fairly hot 80-degree day, sunny with almost no clouds. We walked along the trail towards the railroad and down along the canyon. Couldn't really see anything once we got to the top of the falls, unable to find a safe route down to the bottom of the falls since it was a little crowded on that day, we returned the same way we came down. There were however a number of ppl at the bottom of the falls at that time. One of the best views of the falls was at the top close to parking lots. We also walked to another lookout at the top which also gave us another good view of the falls.The hike was short and easy, just be prepared with proper hiking shoes if you plan to walk down to the canyons.
