Dry Falls Overlook |
|||
HABITAT: |
State Park overlook to stunning 400-foot cliffs rising from marsh-ringed lakes surrounded by shrub-steppe. | ||
| BIRDING: | THE place to learn the difference between swifts and swallows! From this elevated perspective, look down on or straight across at aerial ballet performed by White-throated Swifts, and Violet-green and Barn Swallows. During winter, check utility lines for Northern Shrikes and juniper trees for Townsend’s Solitaires. | ||
VIEWING: |
Dry Falls is a geological wonder of North America: during ice age floods, a waterfall ten times the size of present-day Niagara Falls flowed over these cliffs. | ||
| ACCESS: | From Hwy 17 at milepost 94.5, turn east into parking lot. | ||
