Palouse Falls

Palouse Falls is one of the most dramatic waterfalls in Washington state. The Palouse River has cut a canyon 70 meters deep, carved from basalt from the ancient Missoula Floods. The landscape surrounding the falls is a unique dry forest with towering wind-sculpted sandstone walls. A powerful multi-ton cascade of water thundering down the Palouse Falls is an unforgettable sight. A hiking trail on either side of the canyon offers views of the falls, as well as the lush wildlife that lives there. Hiking over the canyon allows you to experience the falls up close and listen to the roar of the water as well as get great vantage points for photography. Whether you’re looking for a chance to explore the hidden gem of Palouse Falls or listen to its powerful roar, a visit to Palouse Falls is a must.
