Ancient Lake Natural Area is just east of the Columbia River in eastern Washington state. It provides good evidence, with sagebrush and rattlesnakes, that the state's moniker of the "Evergreen State" does not apply to vast stretches of Washington. Ancient Lake is much more reminiscent of the old west than the soggy, Pacific Northwest that most people envision.

Desert Sage in Full Bloom, Eastern Washington State

Many of the native Americans of what is now Eastern Washington State considered sage to be sacred and used it to for burning as incense during rituals, to grind into flour for use in mush, for flavoring in cooking, as a cold remedy, even as a shampoo when crushed and mixed with water. These were but a few of its many uses and an illustration of its importance to Plains Indian culture.
