In an effort to find some sun (or at least no rain) I headed out to Ancient Lakes area. This was my first visit and was hoping to make it into a loop hike.
Took I-90 to the exit before George, drove past the amphitheatre until the road turned into 1st NW. Went left on road “U” and parked at the locked gate just before Evergreen Reservoir. From there I hiked along, more or less, the following directions.

Nice route and nice pics. Quincy WRA is always a favorite off season area.

Was there much water in the falls? Make sure you go back in the Spring (assuming we have Spring and it doesn't just skip to Winter again), as the greening of the grass is really nice.

Judging by the marks on the cliff, the falls are probably at a low point right now.

That's a great hike. We normally come in from the rest stop W of Quincy, hike up and through Ancient Lakes to the upper 'ponds', then over to Dusty and back out the coulee to the car. Nice early or late season jaunt!
