ATTRACTIONS
Points of Interest
Dry Falls
As the name suggests, Dry Falls no longer carries water, but is the
remnant of what was once the largest waterfall known to have existed on
earth. Viewing the 3.5 miles of sheer cliffs that drop 400 feet, it is easy
to imagine the roar of water pouring over them. (Niagara Falls by
comparison, is one mile wide with a drop of 165 feet). To get to Dry Falls,
turn south of Highway 2 onto Highway 17, and drive to the visitor center which is in
sight of the highway, on the east side.
Lake Lenore
Caves
Located approximately 15 miles south of Coulee City in Highway 17,
you'll find a parking lot where you can stretch your legs. (A Discover
Pass is required). The lake Lenore Caves were formed during the Great
Missoula Flood and were then used by early Native Americans for shelter
and storage. Head to the trail at the south end of the parking lot where
it will take you to several cave openings of varying sizes. If you hike
far enough along the path, you can view petroglyphs carved into stone by
the nomadic natives. The same trail will lead you back to the parking
lot. This is a 1.5 mile trail, round trip, with an elevation gain of 200
feet and the highest point is 1,300 feet. The
Washington Trails Association (WTA) describes the hike to Lake
Lenore Caves.
Scenic Drives
Coulee Corridor National Scenic Byway
