View to the North

Think you are looking at river bottom? No you are looking at lake bottom during the massive Glacial Lake Missoula flood around 12,000 years ago. Now what you can see is the Yakima River (it is where the pale sage coloured Russian Olive trees are in the middle of the darker green) and the Columbia River (located between the field drops off and the base of the bluffs in the background). The pale bluffs on the far left are 6.5 hours away by kayak if you stop for lunch.
