Everything! It gives you an idea of immense area that was covered by the Missoula glacier and what transpired from it.

This state park is a Washington jewell. The scope and scale of the dry falls rivals other attractions that would surely fall into the domain of National Parks. The interpretive center is excellent, the staff congenial and helpful, the lookout platforms are safe and provide an incredible vista. Down in the valley below are two campgrounds. We camped at the... More

Travelling through the State of Washington provides a family with some of the most incredible opportunities to view and enjoy natural geologic wonders that one will find anywhere in America. The Dry Falls and the coulee itself are remnants of catastrophies of unimaginable size that happened at the end of the last iceage. Try and imagine a water flow passing... More

Planning a tour in the NW USA recently, I added Grand Coulee Dam and, following a visit to Mt. Rainier, drove from Yakima, Washington, to see it expecting just another in a number of CCC/WPA projects. Along the way we were taken back by the changed landscape relative to western Washington. Large rocks adorning prairie-like land, huge buttes and long... More

An amazing glimpse into a time millions of years ago. Falls that would have dwarfed Niagara. Good film about the history.

This was a sweet little interpretive center. There was a 13 minute video to watch on the formation of Dry Falls. Fascinating. Also, there are some small exhibits that discuss geology, flora, fauna of the region. They had a lovely book selection for both young and old. I went there with a toddler and a kindergartener, and 2 adults and... More

We went to see the state park and dry falls so had so go into the intrepretive center. For us, this was unnecessary. We like being outdoors and nature more than museums so, for us, the intrepretive center was only a short visit. If you love museums and doing a lot of reading though, you should try it.
