This is my second visit to palouse falls for a Sunset Photography. Last year, when I visited in August on a mid-summer day, I marked my Calendar for this June, as this place is worth for several visits. Till you reach to this point, you will not realize there is a falls falling from a Canyon. Believe me, it the jewel of Eastern Washington, and only about a 2 hour drive or so from Spokane. I drove from Vancouver (It is around 6 – 7 hours’ Drive). Before I start I planned for an 8 PM arrival. Lovely setting and walked over to the rim with Blue Singh-Ray’s A13 warming filter and Tiffen’s 812 filters. As per the WSU stats, the falls drops an astounding 186 ft. on the Palouse River, and flows fairly well year-round. In the spring, the river is raging with snow melt, and the waterfall is an absolutely incredible sight. In the winter, with snow and ice, it can be extraordinarily beautiful, and it still has very decent flow. I was blessed with a fabulous sunset, and the waterfall had quite a high flow. It is possible to get to the bottom of the falls.
There seems to be a trail descending from the lip of the falls. I did not go down, but it looked quite dangerous to me.Also check this: It is hard to imagine that anyone would go over Palouse Falls in a kayak. Yet that is exactly what Tyler Bradt did last year. And he survived to tell about it. This is just unbelievably crazy.
