Post Falls Idaho

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!
