We arrived here on Sept.10 but we stayed at a State Park so had no internet.Drove south from Osoyoos to Omak, Washington, then headed east to Coulee Dam. It was about an hour from Omak, 2 lane highway through the mountains.
The dam is impressive, but not as impressive as the natural scenery.
We stayed at Steambout Rock State Park on Banks Lake, 15 miles south of the dam.
The area is surrounded by huge mesa's, the valleys between them are the coulees, createdthousand of years ago by ice age floods. I had no idea this existed in Washington!
We stayed here 2 nights and would have stayed longer but we had no reservations and the place was fully booked for the weekend. It is apparently one of the most popular state parks.
