Palouse Waves
An ocean of sensual earthen waves, the Palouse Prairie was formed primarily during the ice ages, but its foundation lies in the layers and layers of molten lava from the Columbia River Basalt eruptions. Wind, in particular, contributed to the sensual sculpting and wave like expression of the land and played a major role in depositing the rich soil of the Palouse, known as loess.

An ocean of sensual earthen waves, the Palouse Prairie was formed primarily during the ice ages, but its foundation lies in the layers and layers of molten lava from the Columbia River Basalt eruptions. Glacial advances and retreats, massive floods from collapsing ancient ice dams and wind, all worked to sculpt this landscape. Wind, in particular, contributed to the sensual sculpting and wave like expression of the land and played a major role in depositing the rich soil of the Palouse, known as loess.
Prior to the first stab of the plow blade into the fertile mantle of this landscape, it was home to an amazingly diverse prairie of perennial grasses and wildlife. Perennial being the operative word, today, nearly all of the Palouse Prairie is planted in agricultural crops. The native prairie is one of the most endangered ecosystems in the United States, with little more than one percent of the original prairie still in existence.
