Palouse Falls and Picnic Getaway We're headed to Palouse Falls! If you have never seen these 198-foot falls, you're missing out on a geologic formation of "epoch" proportions--specifically the Pleistocene epoch. It is also the official state waterfall of Washington! We have a "no freeway" route perfect for Miata cruising. Meet at Carl's Jr in Cheney at 8:30 AM. We'll leave by 9:00 AM sharp. Driving time is about 2 hours to Palouse Falls State Park. Bring your Discovery Pass if you have one. Also pack a lunch, as we will stop in Ritzville on the way back from the falls for lunch in the city park. Come along for a great day of beautiful scenery and a nice lunch with your fellow Miata enthusiasts!
