SUN LAKES - DRY FALLS STATE PARK - WASHINGTON STATE
Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park is a 4,027-acre camping park with 73,640 feet of freshwater shoreline at the foot of Dry Falls. Dry Falls is one of the great geological wonders of North America. Carved by Ice Age floods that long ago disappeared, the former waterfall is now a stark cliff, 400 feet high and 3.5 miles wide. In its heyday, the waterfall was four times the size of Niagara Falls. Today it overlooks a desert oasis filled with lakes and abundant wildlife.

Frenchman Coulee, Washington State
Coulees like this in south-eastern Washington State are giant basins created by massive flooding during the Ice Age. About 18,000 years ago a dam made of ice in the Purcell Valley (in neighbouring Idaho) couldn't hold Glacial Lake Missoula, and 500 cubic mile torrents of water frequently poured over top of it. This once hilly terrain was stripped down 250 feet to basalt bedrock, creating deep channels and holes and desert, now coulees and potholes and scablands. Much of the eroded sediment was carried all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
It was the biggest flood in the world for which there is geological evidence, writes Norman Maclean in A River Runs Through It, referring to the catastrophic deluge that tore through the Pacific Northwest every time Glacial Lake Missoula's ice dam gave way. [I]t was so vast a geological event that the mind of man could only conceive of it but could not prove it until photographs could be taken from Earth satellites. Proof now in hand, geologists today point to numerous features in the landscape that reveal the extreme scale and violence involved in these truly colossal floods.
Most Beautiful Places In America HD 2014
Europe is great and Asia is awesome, but the song says America the beautiful.
These hidden places prove you don't need to spend big bucks and make a transatlantic trek-- the world's most beautiful wonders have been here all along, right in your American backyard.
1. Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Fur trappers stumbled upon this boiling lake less than 200 years ago.
2. Kilauea Volcano and Thurston Lava Tube at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Kilauea has been spewing lava without stop since 1983 in what is one of the longest-lived volcanic eruptions of modern times. Below it snakes a complex cave network that was carved from a river of lava 500 years ago.
3. Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine
George Washington himself oversaw construction on this lighthouse, which originally burned lamps made with whale oil.
4. Togiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
Snuggled on the tip of Alaska, this Arctic Amazon is bursting with caribou, raptors, wolverines, and... wait for it... baby porcupines.
5. Salt Lake Temple and Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Utah
Like at other Latter-day Saints temples, you'll need to get baptized and meet with a bishop before you go inside. Once you do, 10 acres of one of Brigham Young's first churches are yours to explore.
6. Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado
We think the indigenous Ute tribe is responsible for the cryptic etchings we've found on this park's red rock walls. We've also found carefully-built fire rings from 3,000 years ago.
7. Gila Cliff Dwellings in Catron, New Mexico
Scholars are fairly certain these intricate caverns were home to American Indian families over 700 years ago. From them, we've unearthed a mummified infant whom researchers call Zeke.
8. Palouse Falls in Franklin/Whitman Counties, Washington
In 2009, kayaker Tyler Bradt ran his kayak -- on purpose -- down the 180-foot drop.
9. Windsor Ruins in Claiborne County, Mississippi
A wealthy landowner used slave labor to build this expansive plantation house in the 1800s. He died a few weeks after moving in, and a freak fire later burned down the building. All that remain are 23 crumbling, solitary columns.
10. Painted Hills in Wheeler County, Oregon
The different-colored bands represent the hills' slow growth over 30 million years. Archeologists have found remains of primitive camels and rhinos here.
11. White Sands National Monument in Alamogordo, New Mexico
This flat is incredibly rare because it's made of gypsum, which is usually dissolved by rainfall.
12. Horseshoe Bend near Page, Arizona
Grand Canyon looky-loos forget to seek out this funky-shaped bend in the Colorado River, which is nearby in Arizona terms.
13. Castle Rock in Gove County, Kansas
Eons ago, an ancient sea covered the Midwest. This chalk deposit 11 miles off the freeway is our souvenir.
14. Mount Hood National Forest, Oregon
Home of the real Oregon Trail.
15. Skagit Valley tulip fields in Mount Vernon, Washington
You don't have to schlep to Amsterdam for fields that burst into bloom-- there's more serenity and space at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, which locals celebrate each April.
16. Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park, California
You've always thought Star Wars was filmed in a galaxy far, far away. It wasn't.
17. Gillette Castle State Park in East Haddam, Connecticut
This estate belonged to actor William Gillette, famous for portraying Sherlock Holmes onstage in the 1900s. Gillette named his cobblestoned castle Seventh Sister and installed a series of hidden mirrors to monitor guests at all times.
18. Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Apache County, Arizona
According to Navajo tradition, Spider Rock's second spire is home to Spider Woman, the creator of the free world.
