SAN POIL RIVER VALLEY
For the last few years fire and water have had dramatic impacts on this beautiful river valley paralleling the southern Kettle River Range on its western slope. Sanpoil, or San Poil is derived from a native word, Sinpauelish (Snpui’lux) and is the name of the native people who have long occupied this valley.
AUTUMN IN THE HIGHLANDS
Mountain shadows, deep valley, quiet river, cottonwoods in golden shades. Autumn in the Highlands...

SAN POIL VALLEY AUTUMN Even Washington's semi-arid steppe
lands of sage and bitterbrush are colorful in the autumn as seen here
on a south slope down the San Poil River valley below Keller...

SUN LAKES GRAND COULEE AUTUMN
OKANOGAN AUTUMN
The 120 mile long Okanogan River (spelled Okanagan in Canada)
has its origin in south central British Columbia and flows southward
entering the United States near Oroville, Washington. The Okanogan
River ends at its confluence with the Columbia River near Brewster WA.
The river’s name “Ukwnaqín” comes from the Syilx Tribe.
KETTLE RIVER AUTUMN EVENING
Winding between Canada and the United States, the 190 mile long Kettle River is a tributary of the Columbia River which it joins northwest of Kettle Falls, Washington.
GOLDEN LARCH & WILDFIRE SNAGS
Seen from the Sharman Pass Scenic Byway these snags are part of the left-over damages
from the 1988 White Mountain Fire that scorched 21,000 acres on the Colville National Forest.
AUTUMN MORNING SUNLIGHT AFTER A RAINSHOWER
There are still mists in the air as the sunlight filters through the
quaking aspens and black cottonwoods on this mid October day...
TWILIGHT ON THE RIVER
Most of the leaves are gone, many floating in the stream. Larch needles
falling like golden rain. Mid autumn in the north country with frosty
mornings and crisp, sunny afternoons.
