I Know This Really Cool Place - a photo on Flickriver

            Palouse Falls, Washington

One of the more unique landscapes are the scablands of the Columbia Basin.  They were created by rapid and massive changes in the flow of water from the ancient Lake Missoula and the repeatedly collapsing ice dam.    The canyon in which the Palouse River flows was originally a coulee.  

The canyon is 377 ft tall at the falls.  The falls themselves are 177, give or take.
