Kamiak Butte
 

This has one picture for now which may be added to - my personal opinion is that >5% of my pictures are worth posting here quality wise, and this made the cut. If any of the others are worthy and kid free I may post them as well.

This was taken during an unplanned 3.5 mile hike on Kamiak Butte with 6 children (I just claim four of them) 7 years -2.5 months; interesting to say the least. I took this from the scenic spot.
the town visible in the distance is Pullman

I love the Palouse. I'd like to see more pictures if you have them, please. And what were you doing in the Palouse of all places? :)

Awesome color for such a great view.

That's a big butte!


Gorgeous color, does it look that red in person?

Truly a good question I have wondered before - I grew up in Woodburn much closer to your area, then eventually ended up in the Moscow/Pullman area after my military phase in Florida and getting my AA from ITT Tech in Portland a few years back.
I moved out here to get away from the big city and will likely be here for some time.
That was the only slight tweak I did in the GIMP, and it was just increasing the hue a small amount; I figured that bringing out the natural beauty a bit more would be forgiven me.
The natural colour at the time was greener (this was taken in early september this year), I would like to go back and take a similar shot in the winter months and the other seasons as well - this was my first actual hike up there.

Thank you for the comments about the red colour, that was why I bumped them just a wee bit in the first place.
Here is the untouched original just for reference.

It's not a bad place to be; I'm just surprised to find someone on TFP living in that neck of the woods ;) I've always thought it was incredibly beautiful out there.

Pretty! Must have been an interesting trek with a gaggle of children along.
