50 Travel Destinations Every American Simply Must Visit In Their Lifetime

27. Palouse Falls – Washington

Palouse Falls provides an enchanting view of the canyon, complete with a rumbling waterfall coming right out of the rocks. This view could have been very different today. In 1984, there was a proposal to build a dam in the falls to generate hydroelectric power. Thankfully, taxpayers voted to preserve the falls instead so that the rest of the world could benefit from this marvelous view. The hike to the falls is less than a mile, so it’s an easy trek to make. The best times to go are between February and October.
