Hells Canyon Outing

So much fun today! Drove to Lewiston/Clarkston area (yes, named after Lewis and Clark). The first part of the ride is through hundreds of beautiful, wheat-covered hills on the Palouse. Then we dropped down into Lewis/Clark Canyon, which is essentially a giant river gorge created by the Snake and Clearwater rivers (something to do with glaciers, too).

Drove about 30 miles downriver to see stunning rock formations and 4,500-year-old petroglyphs at Buffalo Eddy.

And then to cool off, a climb down the banks of the Snake River for a refreshing swim and snack on the beach.

Finished the day with dinner at Black Cypress in Pullman.
