At Precision Gutters and Roofing, we’re not just about protecting homes—we’re also passionate about celebrating the natural beauty of the region we serve. The Inland and Pacific Northwest are home to some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country, and its waterfalls are no exception. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, these cascading wonders are must-see destinations that highlight the rugged charm of our area.
As spring approaches and the snow thaws, these thundering waterfalls are sure to be a feast for your eyes and ears in the next couple of months. Here are some of the best waterfalls to explore in the region:
1. Spokane Falls (Spokane, WA)
Located in the heart of downtown Spokane, Spokane Falls is a spectacular urban waterfall that blends natural beauty with city life. Divided into Upper and Lower Falls, this powerful cascade is best viewed from Riverfront Park or while riding the Spokane Falls SkyRide. The year-round attraction showcases the region’s vital connection to the Spokane River.
Why We Love It: Spokane Falls is a true symbol of the Inland Northwest, reflecting the energy and spirit of the community we proudly serve.
2. Palouse Falls (Washtucna, WA)
Known as the “official state waterfall” of Washington, Palouse Falls is a jaw-dropping sight in a remote canyon of the Palouse River. The waterfall plunges 198 feet into a dramatic basalt gorge, making it a photographer’s dream. Pack a picnic and enjoy lunch while taking in stunning views from the surrounding trails and viewpoints.
Pro Tip: Visit during sunset for an unforgettable display of colors against the rugged cliffs.
3. Shoshone Falls (Twin Falls, ID)
Nicknamed the “Niagara of the West,” Shoshone Falls is one of the most impressive waterfalls in the country, standing at 212 feet—even taller than Niagara Falls!

The charming Benson Bridge offers a close-up view of the upper falls and is an easy hike for visitors of all ages.
