It flows for 269 km to the southwest, mainly through the Palouse region in southeast Washington. It is part of the Columbia River basin, as the Snake River is a tributary of the Columbia River. Its barrel was cut off by a fork in the catastrophic Missoula floods of the previous ice age, which spilled over the northern Columbia plateau and flowed into the Snake River, eroding the river's current course in a few thousand years. Palouse Falls Course in 2006 Palouse River entering the snake on the Lyon ferry near Starbuck, looking north in 2006 The Palouse River flows from northern Idaho to Southeast Washington the Palouse region, named for the river. The river originates in Idaho, northeast of Latah County, in the Hoodoo Mountains in the St. Joe's National Forest. In Washington, the river flows into Whitman County to Palouse and then to Colfax, where it meets its southern fork, which originates on the southern slopes of Moscow Mountain in the Palouse Range, flowing south from Moscow and west to Pullman. (Paradise Creek parallel to the South Fork, passing through Moscow to Pullman, accompanied by the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail and State Route 270.) From Colfax, the river meanders to the west and ends up on the lower Snake River southwest of Hooper, but not before falling over Palouse Falls. The Palouse River enters the Snake River below the Little Goose Dam and above the lower monumental dam. Basin and discharge The drainage basin of the Palouse River is 8,550 km². [2] Its average annual discharge, measured by USGS gage 13351000 at Hooper (river mile 19.6), is 599 cubic feet per second (17 m3/s), with a daily maximum recorded flow of 27,800 feet/s (787 m3/s), and a minimum zero flow. [3] Geology The Missoula floods that periodically spread across eastern Washington and across the Columbia River plateau during the Pleistocene era cut the canyon of the Palouse River, which is 300 meters deep in places. [8] The ancient Palouse River flowed through the now dry Washtucna Coulee directly into the Columbia River. The current canyon was created when the Missoula floods overcame the northern drainage divide of the ancestral Palouse River, diverting it to the current course to the Snake River eroding a new deeper channel. [10] The area is characterized by coulees, cataracts, plunge pools, kolk-created potholes, rock benches, butts and pinnacles typical of the scales.
