Ice Age group kicks off new year

KAHLOTUS — Members of the Palouse Falls Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute are off to a busy start of 2024.

On Saturday, March 2, several members hiked nearly 3 miles to visit Sacajawea Bar on the Snake River.

The hike started near Star School, about midway between Pasco and Kahlotus. After the hike, some members drove to Juniper Dunes.

Next up, the organization is planning on a trip to Othello for the annual Sandhill Crane Festival, slated for March 22-24 this year.

There will be lectures, hikes and filed trips available for those making the trip. Members can also take part in bird watch...
