Palouse Falls — Monday, Jul. 18, 2016

Eastern Washington > Palouse and Blue Mountains
Falls at sunset.
Did a quick camping trip here and was fortunate enough to arrive just before golden hour. Campground was full-ish but not too crowded, site is clean and well maintained. Official trail and overlook has tremendous views and is easily accessible. For the slightly more adventurous, "social" trails lead up to bluffs overlooking the canyon and falls, there are prominent warning signs advising hikers of the associated risks. The park is currently developing a trail plan, hopefully it will include access to this area. Explored the canyon a bit more the next morning, which is less dramatic than the falls, but every bit as pretty. Good shoes are a must as loose dirt and sharp basalt abound. For more detailed info see Hiking_Newb's great trip report from 7/2/2016
