WASHINGTON'S "LESSER KNOWN"
TOP DESTINATIONS

Palouse Country

Meander over gently rolling hills and through rural farmlands dotted with old barns and ranch houses. Ancient silt deposits from the Columbia River, blown in during the late Ice Age, give this rich wheat land its distinctive relief. To fully appreciate the beauty of this region travel in the spring when the young wheatfields are a lush green, or on a warm summer evening when the golden fields shimmer from the breeze in the setting sun. One favorite route is SR 125 between Prescott and Walla Walla.
