Post
Falls is a small town right across the state border from Spokane. I took a couple of hours to drive over and
hike in some the town parks. Back in
1871 Frederick Post purchased 200 acres from Native Americans to develop the area
around the falls. That’s why it’s called
Post Falls. Treaty Rock has an
inscription by Frederick Post along with some pictographs below it. It is said to be rare for a town’s founder to
carve a rock with their name like this.
The
falls powered several lumber and grist mills at one time or
another. A power plant has been here
since 1906. Not only a power plant, but
a great view!
