Lets hear it for the ice age... and the flooding it brought to the desert area of Eastern Washington... as it carved out Frenchman Coulee and Potholes Coulee... giving us an amazing place for hiking, mountain biking and sport climbing. The lousy weather in the Cascades made it an easy choice to head east for a sunny hike through Potholes Coulee that included visits to Ancient Lake and Dusty Lake. We made a loop trip out of it by first hiking to Ancient Lake... then up and through the crossover gap on the Ancient/Dusty divide... returning to the car via the Dusty Lake coulee. 7.2 miles of hiking... gaining 733 feet of elevation. Maps and photos of our trip through Potholes Coulee. ..

But no Chester Cheetah either. Beer and cheetos. Going to have to try that combination sometime. Probably better with a lighter beer I should think.

That's one of the most cool looking east-side trips I've seen. Wish I'd been along. Thanks for the great report.
