One of the famous Lake Lenore Caves. They are more like basalt overhangs or shelters.
Teri, On a recent Palouse Canyon hike, the EWU geologist said that if it is wider than it is deep, it is a rock shelter; deeper than it is wide is a cave. I had always wondered what the differentiation was. Elaine
Interesting. So they really should be named the Lake Lenore Shelters. Thanks Elaine. teri
