p.1 #1 · Dry Falls area WA


On the way back from our outing this last weekend, John Richter and I stopped at Dry Falls WA. The cliff face was created when an ice dam broke in Montana during the ice ages which sent water toward Washington and carved out the volcanic rock in the region. No water comes over the falls today, but a lake does remain at the bottom of the cliff. The sun was in our face, so we could not take a picture of the cliff, as it was in shadows. The three pictures are from the close area.
Comments are welcome.
1. The cliff face that was cut back by the water with the layers of lava are shown. I was trying for a reflection in the small lake that was just beyond Dry Falls Lake, and I thought the large rock of churning lava was interesting.
2. Is around an escarpment, and shows horizontal lava puhed to vertical.
3. Is in the same area, only closer, and better shows the lava pushed to vertical.

Hey Mike.

Very nice series looks like you and Mike had a great successful tout to Potholes. Another area you may want to think about is I-90 to Sprague then Hwy 23 east so pretty cool stuff and you are real close to the Palouse. Great to see you posting

Ray Thanks, That is one area we would like to get to. I haven't been along Highway 17 before, so this area was new to me. I had always stopped at Moses Lake.

Barry Thank you. It is very different from the West side of Washington.
