Moses Coulee, National Natural Landmark canyon in Douglas County, Washington, US.
Moses Coulee extends as a deep canyon through the Waterville Plateau, reaching 30 kilometers west of Grand Coulee toward the Columbia River.
During the Pleistocene epoch, massive floods from glacial Lake Missoula carved this channel, creating the second largest canyon in the Channeled Scablands.
The Nature Conservancy manages the Moses Coulee Preserve, protecting 3,588 acres of shrub-steppe habitat and native species of the Columbia Plateau.
Visitors can explore designated trails through the canyon year-round, with spring offering opportunities to observe wildflowers and native wildlife.
The Great Gravel Bar within Moses Coulee measures 5.2 kilometers in length and rises 74 meters high, forming a pendant-shaped deposit.
