Show Notes
Steptoe Butte State Park in Colfax reopened after a major upgrade, featuring a smoother four-mile road leading to the summit, enhanced flood risk management, and improved views of the Palouse prairie. This rare ecosystem, home to native grasses, wildflowers, and the Palouse earthworm, offers hang gliding launches, photography spots, and school field trips. The park, named after an 1858 battle, has deep Native American ties and national landmark status. Whitman County protects the prairie under a special rule. Explore the park daily from 8 a.m. to dusk, pack a picnic, and enjoy the panoramic views.
