The Palouse

The Palouse is an area of richly undulating treeless hills primarily in Southeastern Washington but extending into Idaho and Oregon as well. they are a huge area for growing barley and lentils and in the summer the hills shimmer in green and gold. Deep primary contrasting and otherworldly beautiful. In the winter they are more monotone but no less wonderful. (Have you seen the bizzaro Robin Williams/LL Cool J movie "Toys"? They filmed the outside scenes, the ones on the impossible green treeless hills, in the Palouse.)
