The Palouse
The Palouse embodies the rolling hills and fields America is known for. Looking over the vast expanse is a keen reminder of this state’s natural beauty. Here you can find yourself hiking on peaceful country roads or skiing powder on a high butte. You can raft through a deep canyon or walk along the rolling fields of wheat. Whitewater enthusiasts cannot miss a trip down Hell’s Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America. Dug from the floods of the Ice Age, its grandeur will amaze and its beauty will delight. Visit the Lewis and Clark State Park with 1,333 feet of freshwater shoreline on the Touchet River. The park is located 25 miles north of Walla Walla and offers hiking, freshwater fishing, and ample area for bird and wildlife watching. This region is great for bicycling since it offers flat trails stretching over miles of endless plain, as well as, trails up to steep buttes overlooking deep canyons. Bike the Pullman-Snake River Loop or the Snake River Bikeway for spectacular canyon views. Bird lovers won’t want to miss a trip past the Swallows Nest Rock. This one-million-year-old basalt is where thousands of swallows nest every spring. Get back to nature in a region that prides itself on offering vacation destinations focused on its natural beauty. |
