Eastern Washington > Palouse and Blue Mountains

A friend and I decided to take a short trip down from the Tri Cities and this was the perfect spot. You park at a small gravel lot with only enough room for about 5 cars and climb over either a small ladder or slip through the gap in the barbed wire (easiest) and then hike up a bit. You can then go down into the canyon where there's a sand dune or take a left and head up onto a plateau. If you keep going up, you run into a few scrambles, so watch your footing and be very careful. You can get to the very top that overlooks the river, and it's just gorgeous. Also frightening if you're afraid of heights like I am. Good thinking there. We stayed up there for a while watching the sun go down but made sure to get out of there before there was no light. It was a pleasant day and a great view. Next time I'll bring my DSLR. We brought a dog. The scrambles were difficult for him and we made sure not to let him get too close to the cliff edges. I wouldn't recommend bringing a dog on this one.
