Most beautiful towns in America: Part 2
Searching for beauty high and low
Of course, beauty is subjective, but there are some things on which we can all agree. A charming downtown oozing with character, sparkling waves under the glow of a sunset, and wide-open ranges void of human handprints are all undeniably beautiful in their own ways.
Not too long ago, we curated a list of our favorite beautiful towns in America, and we’re back at it again. From endearing architecture and preserved nature trails to serene coastlines and mountaintop views, we’re bringing you even more pretty towns and cities from sea to shining sea.

(Here's what the June 7, 2018, Expedia posting said about Pullman.)
30. Pullman,
Washington
The small town
of Pullman is especially good looking when the trees turn amber along Main
Street and the Pullman Riverwalk, but some might consider the surrounding
Palouse region the real draw; a magical display of rolling hills and wind-blown
silt.
(For more info, PULLMAN :: Cup of the Palouse, provides the following amplifications.)

Oh, you noticed
"wind-blown silt" in Expedia text? If you are curious about that
silt, go to "The Seven Wonders of Washington State" at URL below ...
... text there
says, "The Palouse is the most serene and pastoral of the seven wonders of
Washington State. It is a region in south eastern Washington characterized by
gentle rolling hills covered with wheat fields. The hills were formed over tens
of thousands of years from wind blown dust and silt, called "loess",
from dry regions to
the south west. Seen from the summit of 3,612 foot high Steptoe Butte, they
look like giant sand dunes because they were formed in much the same way. In
the spring they are lush shades of green when the wheat and barley are young,
and in the summer they are dry shades of brown when the crops are ready for
harvest. The Palouse hills are not only a landscape unique in the world, but
they are beautiful to behold, making them my favorite of the seven wonders of
Washington State."

Expedia
mentions Pullman Riverwalk. About it, TrailLink says, “Pullman's Downtown
Riverwalk trail is part of system of trails that make a loop around the city.
The Riverwalk runs for a short distance through downtown, linking with the
College Hill Climb Trail on the north end and the Koppel Farm Trail on the
south end. Sign posts guide you along the trail system.”
