Not just agriculture, this is a fantastic tour with major scenery changes from Orchards to desert.
This all day road trip will amaze you. First a trip over Snoqualmie Pass and Blewett Pass, then see apples, peaches, and cherry orchards. Travel up the hill above the Columbia River and witness first hand the scab-lands of Central Washington (barren land), with sage brush, then wheat fields. Next, amazing Dry Falls and the coulees. Then dip your foot in Soap Lake, with so many minerals, the water feels like there is soap in it.
Note: Dry Falls was probably the largest waterfall in the world in it’s day, falling nearly 400 feet, and over 3 miles wide.
On this tour you’ll see one of Washington’s Seven Natural Wonders; the remnants from massive ice-age flooding.

Pacific Northwest Geology, we've got plenty of wondrous terrain! This geology tour takes you back thousands of years, about 15,000 in fact, and you'll see terrain that took a geologist nearly 20 years to prove to his colleagues; how massive flooding over several thousands of years re-shaped the Columbia Plateau. Also called the Columbia Basin, this area is labeled the Scablands, because of the scars that remain in the topography.
This tour is full of excitement as you make your way to Eastern Washington, then see the coulees themselves, formed during the flooding. We'll stop for lunch and dinner, and have plenty of rest breaks.

“THE PAST OF OUR PLANET ON THIS TOUR – Northwest Geology
If you love to be wow’d by the grandeur, beauty and immensity of our planet’s past, this is the tour for you. The 400 mile trip views over 200 million years of geology from the beautiful mountain scenery formed millions of years ago by colliding tectonic plates with igneus beginnings deep within the earth, to the present view of a mountain pasture, which happened to be hosting a herd of elk. This wonderful odyssey takes you from the Puget Lowlands, through parts of both the North and South Cascades, across the verdant agriculture fields on the loess covered prairie of the Columbia basin to the bottom of giant canyons carved out by a hard-to-fathom series of immense floods during the ice ages.
This was a great tour and Cheryl was a fantastic tour guide.
