Photos from the Road: Views from Steptoe Butte

By Pattyhankins @PattyHankins

Last month I spent a fantastic week photographing in the Palouse region of Washington State. I shared a number of photos on my FB profile during the trip – and just realized I’d never shared them here on my blog.

The Palouse is a wheat growing region in eastern Washington, south of Spokane. If you’ve seen photos of wheat fields in Washington that seem to go on forever – chances are they were taken in the Palouse. While the terrain there is slightly hilly, one place – Steptoe Butte – provides an amazing place to take photos looking out across the fields from above. Steptoe Butte is a 3612 foot tall quartzite butte with 360 degree views of the surrounding fields. I spent a week in the town of Pullman exploring the Palouse – and visited Steptoe Butte at least 8 times during the week.

Here are some of my favorite photos from Steptoe Butte
