Above the rough-sided Snake River Gorge, big clouds roll across the sky. This area outside of Joso, an unincorporated Frankin County Community, is home to the intersection of the Palouse and Snake rivers. There is a Palouse tribe myth that explains the unusual path that the Palouse river takes before it cascades down a waterfall and joins the Snake: four brothers were hunting a giant beaver down the river and as they speared him, he gouged the canyon walls and dug forward, causing the river's path to bend. The fifth time he was speared, he tore out a giant canyon before dying, (the bottom of the falls).
