Rolling Hills near Walla Walla, Washington

Seen from the air, the rolling hills of Walla Walla, Washington look like giant, patch-work dunes. The rolling hills of Eastern Washington were formed by massive floods near the end of the last ice age as a ice dam holding back billions of gallons of water over present-day Missoula, Montana would regularly break, releasing a torrent of water that scoured and shaped the landscape.
