Daytrippin: Waterville and Moses Coulee


Drove up through Wenatchee yesterday, then took Highway 2 east up dramatic Corbaley Canyon to the high-plateau wheat town of Waterville.

Regrettably did not bring the camera; the colors of wheat stubble and plowed fields in late afternoon were phenomenal. An early dinner at Harvest House Restaurant (worth the drive by itself) and then south through Moses Coulee as the moon came up, the road to ourselves.

In the 1800s the Chief Moses tribe wintered in Moses Coulee, sheltering their ponies in the lee of the cliffs.

Really memorable day. I can't imagine a better motorcycle day trip, for those so inclined.
