Wandering the Channeled Scablands: Columbia National Wildlife Refuge and the Drumheller Channels

This was weekend trip to Columbia National Wildlife Refuge and Drumheller Channels National Natural Landmark. Spent our time wandering through the channeled scablands of Eastern Washington's coulee country. The highlight of this area is the near perfect columns of the Elephant Mountain Lava Flow. A very accessible area with lots of opportunity for exploration. We started and ended at Crab Creek Marsh Unit #3, which is open sunrise to sunset, March 1st thru October 1st. Well worth the efforts.
