Yesterday afternoon Barb and I went to Steptoe Butte hoping to go on a hike.  Unfortunately we couldn't find a trail that we could hike on.  We enjoyed the view and took a few pictures.  The one thing that I thought was very interesting was that “Steptoe” is a term used to describe a particular geological formation.  But it was Steptoe Butte, here on the Palouse, that was the inspiration for that term and it is used worldwide now.
