Palouse Falls — Wednesday, Jul. 15, 2015

Eastern Washington > Palouse and Blue Mountains
Where's all the water?
The lack of snow pack this year has really taken its toll on the falls. The water flow is very low and it's not quite the same without the normal thunder from the falls. I would not make a special trip for Palouse Falls at this time, wait for more normal weather conditions and see it in all its glory. The one highlight about the lack of water is that it's easy to cross the river by the rapids by walking from rock to rock. I hadn't explored that side before and it allows for some interesting views by the falls, but they're not as interesting without a strong flow so it's a catch-22.
At least it's easy to cross the river
I hadn't seen this angle before
You can see on the rocks where the water has been... That's when you want to visit.
