These caves were historically used by the Plateau Indians for storage and for shelter. They were created when whirlpool-like floodwaters from the ice age floods scoured rocks out of the basalt walls. (Image ©2003 Teri J. Pieper, courtesy of byways.org)

Sun Lakes State Park contains Dry Falls, a 400-foot-high cliff near Coulee City, Washington, USA that was formed by the Missoula Floods. Recreation opportunities include fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, horse rentals, and a golf course. It is a prime example of shrub-steppe habitat. There is an interpretive center on area geology. The park is located in Grant County, Washington along Route 17, at the head of the Lower Grand Coulee.
