Kamiak Butte stands like an island in the rolling wheat fields
of the Palouse country--not merely a physical island of rock
jutting up above the fertile soils of the Palouse hills but also an
"ecosystem island."
The dry butte supports a rich sage desert ecosystem on its
southeastern face, with a lush forest--ponderosa pine, Douglas fir,
grand fir, even some cedar--on its north face. This combination of
vegetation provides excellent habitat for an array of birds and
animals, and the high top of the butte offers outstanding views of
the sprawling Palouse country of southeast Washington (and
Idaho).
This cache is located at the roadside sign right where you turn
to head into the park. It should be an easy find even for the
newest of cachers. You will be looking for a green soda preform
under a rock. There is enough parking for one vehicle to get safely
off the road.
