May 4, 2016: The Pend Oreille River Valley, Washington

 

The Pend Oreille River originates from Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho and winds its way across the Idaho panhandle, through Washington state and southern British Columbia to join the mighty Columbia River.  It drains a large portion of land between the Rocky mountains and the Columbia highlands.  

It's a beautiful valley, as you can see from the featured photo.  My oldest son and I were camping for a few nights at a nearby lake and while we were exploring, stopped to enjoy the view, including of a nearby rainbow!

If I'd been 10 seconds faster, PHeymont, that top photo would have had a bald eagle sitting on the tip of the pine tree to the left.  Just flew away as I put the camera to my eye.  But maybe that would have been too perfect....

Northeastern Washington state and the Idaho panhandle are really beautiful and not that visited.
