The Lower Grand Coulee, a geographical area starting at Dry Falls and follows the monoclinal flexure to Soap Lake where the canyons end, is geologically one of the more unusual places in the world. Like a precious stone, it embodies the fascinating history of the natural events that created it, and the diversity of people who have grown to love and appreciate its unique nature. The Ice Age Floods Institute characterizes the Dry Falls area as "what remains of the biggest waterfall on earth," created by cataclysmic geologic events. Soap Lake has the most diverse mineral content of any other body of water and is one of only 11 lakes like it in the world. For hundreds of years, people have traveled here to explore, study, dream and heal.
