2018/11/22 – Northrup Canyon / 諾斯拉普峽谷
We left for Eastern Washington early this morning but didn’t get over Snoqualmie Pass before the snowfall.
Eastern Washington is the portion of the US state of Washington east of the Cascade Range. The region contains the city of Spokane (the second largest city in the state), the Tri-Cities, the Columbia River and the Grand Coulee Dam, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and the fertile farmlands of the Yakima Valley and the Palouse. ~Wikipedia
