Ladies Desert Adventure! Ancient Lakes to Dusty Beginners Fun !

We have breathtaking waterfalls everywhere in Washington. If you were to stop at every one of our state’s cascades, it could take days – maybe even weeks. The desert is the best place to start, with some of the most magical falls in and around the basalt cliffs.

If you’re up for the ultimate adventure, here’s an easy trip we will take to see falls from Seattle. so we will catch the last waterfalls we have not done on the very corner of the state.

Another beginners hike. That is not too strenuous but beautiful.

Ancient Lakes is a desert oasis in eastern Washington that makes for an easy day trip. The name comes from the small, pothole lakes that dot the region, a remnant of the Ice Age floods the carved out the region between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago. It has been a popular hiking and recreational area for decades. Thanks to basalt cliffs, it is a dramatic landscape.

Dusty Lake to Ancient Lakes is a 5.3 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Quincy, Washington. Desert, minimal elevation gain hike. You're in the desert - but wait! There's Lakes! Waterfalls! Wildflowers! Stunning basalt cliffs!

The desert are beautiful with just a dusting of snow and the foliage are pretty spectacular. It will be sunny but chilly. we love this hike all the same. Don't let that stop you. Stupendous views that are breath taking.
This will be an easy relaxing hike. there will be very few people here. It will be nice having the place to ourselves!

Fall allows you to take full advantage of the stunning and colorful scenery. Bring your cameras for wonderful photos and selfies
The gorgeous basalt mountain scenery comes to an extraordinary climax at the Lake. The drive will be equally beautiful !!

The road sign calls it Wild Horses Monument, but the real name of this artwork is Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies. And despite being begun in 1989, it’s still not complete!

The trail itself is easy, but after reading the history of the sculpture, you may agree that it’s worth the stop, and the short hike to see it up close.
