Dry Falls State Park

Near the end of the last ice age, an ice dam broke in what is now Montana releasing the lake captured behind it. The resulting flood scoured eastern Washington, creating the scab lands and coulees. It poured over what is now called Dry Falls, creating falls larger than Niagara.
We drove down to the bottom of the coulee, through the camping area to see the cliffs from the bottom.
The visitor center at the top of the cliff is very informative. It is certainly worth checking out this very unusual geological feature of Washington State.
