I can only imagine what the falls and river look like earlier in the year when the water is flowing at full force.

Palouse Scenic Highway
The Palouse Scenic Highway offers a peaceful drive with impressive views of interesting rock formations and countless rolling hills covered in grasses and crops, especially wheat.

I wanted to view the terrain from Steptoe Butte which provides panoramic views of the surrounding area. Unfortunately, it's closed for several months. So, I had to view the patchwork of fields, plants, and crops without the aerial perspective.

It was a windy day which made the green grass and brown wheat dance. At one point, I pulled over and recorded the wind blowing through the grasses. The hillside seemed to be alive. Or I imagined creatures were rushing by just beneath the surface. If you watch the video, turn down the volume first as the wind noise might be annoying.
