SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Chapter Hike - Fishtrap Lake Scablands
DESCRIPTION:The Cheney-Spokane Chapter of the IAFI is scheduling a hike at the north loop trailhead of Fishtrap Lake on Saturday\, April 5th. The hike will start at 10:00 a.m. It will be led by Don Chadbourne\, geologist and board member of the Cheney-Spokane Chapter. You will meet the leader at the trailhead. \nFishtrap Lake\, Washington (BLM Photo)\nDescription of Hike\nThe hike will begin and end at the north trailhead at Fishtrap Lake. The hike will follow the north loop trail\, with a total length of about 5 miles.  The trail is mostly single track over dirt and rock\, with an elevation gain and loss of about 500 feet.  The hike will provide an intimate view of the channeled scablands that were carved out by the ice age floods.  Features will include pothole lakes\, rock benches\, Mima mounds\, and streamlined and scarped Palouse hills.  The hike will also provide wide open views of Fishtrap Lake and the surrounding country.  This hike is included in On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods – Northern Reaches\, by Bjornstad & Kiver.  However\, we will be following trails that were constructed after the book was published. \nDirections to the trailhead\nFrom I-90 take Exit 254 and proceed south 2.4 miles on the Sprague Highway. Turn left (east) on Fishtrap Road and proceed 0.6 miles to the trailhead parking on the right. \nRegister for the hike using the buttons below. This event will be limited to 20 hikers. \nItems to bring with you: appropriate shoes\, day pack\, water\, snacks\, appropriate clothing for changes in the weather\, sun protection\, emergency items\, camera and binoculars. Walking poles will be helpful. \nThe hike is free; however\, donations for support of Chapter activities will be accepted. \nFor addition questions contact Don at 509-891-5875.

SUMMARY:Mapping the Pacific Northwest's Glacial Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Enhanced LIDAR images (WA-DNR)\nGlaciers have shaped much of the Pacific Northwest’s landscape over the past 15\,000 years. The Cordilleran ice sheet\, repeated ice age floods\, and expansive alpine glaciation have left their distinctive fingerprints on the topography of our region. \nGeologists and cartographers have been mapping and interpreting glacial landforms since the late 19th century. In the past decade\, the Washington Geological Survey has created new maps that build upon this rich cartographic history by fusing older datasets and techniques with modern insights and technology\, such as lidar. \nUsing both historical and modern maps\, this presentation by Daniel Coe\, Washington Geologic Survey\, Seattle\, will be a visual journey through the Pacific Northwest’s glacial past and present. \nPresented in partnership with Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI) \nThis event will be live via Zoom. Watch at the library or from anywhere you have an internet connection. Register in-person at the library to view the online presentation at Cheney Library. Register online to view the online presentation from home or anywhere. \nNote: as of April 2 at 9 PM there are still 33 in-person seats available and 93 online seats available! \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:How the Ice Age Floods Changed the Course of the Palouse River
DESCRIPTION:Palouse Falls – Photo Glenn Traver\nBefore the Ice Age Floods\, the Palouse River would have flowed through present day Washtucna\, Kahlotus\, Connell\, Mesa\, and Eltopia before entering the Columbia River near the Pasco Airport. Today\, it takes a fifty-mile shortcut to the Snake River at Lyons Ferry via the Palouse Canyon and Palouse Falls. \nIn this presentation by Lloyd Stoess\, President\, Palouse Falls Chapter\, IAFI\, we look at the two factors that caused this dramatic shift—either one by itself would not have been enough. To examine when this happened\, we look at some possibilities and clues recently discovered by scientists. \nPresented in partnership with Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI) \n(Registration required on SCLD website. Registration opens at 6:30 PM Monday\, March 31\, 2025.)
