Just outside of the town of Starbuck, a couple of Palouse ran across the road and I got this picture.
And then, I looked to my right. Palouse Falls. If you follow the dark talus slope above the falls to the left, where the edge forms a right angle, you can see two light objects right at the bottom of the slope. That is two people who walked out the trail to the falls. That give a sense of size.

And this.
Things got kind of hectic and I started taking pictures that looked like this.
Depths were 10 feet and required some reading of the river to determine where the channel might be. You can see on the chart plotter that I am beyond the blue "navigable waters" shown on the chart. I continued on 3/4 of a mile.
It was a slightly more compact version of the full reservoir, but just as spectacular.
