Derby Canyon

Last week on our way home from Spokane and the Columbia River gorge, we stopped for the morning in Derby Canyon, just east of Peshastin. This is eastern Washington, so it is much drier than the western side of the mountains and here one finds rather arid sandstone ridges with canyons between them, fabulously beautiful country and we were blessed with beautiful skies that morning. We found the Mountain Lady's Slippers we were looking for, but did quite a bit more exploring in the canyon as well, both by car and on foot.
