Step into Frenchman Coulee with Misha in this 4K HDR hike filmed on May 8, 2025, showcasing one of Central Washington’s most distinctive desert landscapes. The video pairs authentic trail audio—footsteps, shifting gravel, and steady canyon wind—with a curated mix of cinematic ambient, neo-classical, light orchestral, and atmospheric instrumental music. Along the way, you’ll come across the basalt pillars known as “The Feathers” (00:03:10) and spot desert wildflowers including Fleabane (00:28:15) and Thyme-leaved Buckwheat (00:28:32). Drone footage combines with on-trail shots to show the coulee’s cliffs, open expanses, and volcanic formations from different vantage points. Creative warm-toned cinematic color grading softens the scene with gentle haze and subtle contrast, giving the video a clean desert-film style while keeping the view true to the landscape.

Frenchman Coulee’s trail system offers a close-up look at one of Washington’s most dramatic Ice Age landscapes, but The Feathers are what truly set this area apart. These basalt pillars are actually the exposed edge of an ancient lava flow that cracked into vertical columns as it cooled more than 15 million years ago. During the Ice Age, catastrophic Missoula Floods blasted through the region and stripped away the softer rock around them, leaving the Feathers standing almost like a man-made wall. Each column has its own shape and fracture pattern, making the line look oddly precise from a distance—one reason climbers consider it a natural training ground unlike anything else in the state. As you walk the trail, you can spot broken column pieces scattered across the slope, reminders of the enormous forces that sculpted this desert canyon into the iconic landmark it is today.

This video was filmed on May 8, 2025, during a hike with Misha and captured by Roman Khomlyak using both ground-based and drone cameras to present multiple perspectives of the trail. The shoot relied on a Sony A7S III for on-the-ground footage and a DJI Mini 4 Pro for aerial views, allowing a balanced mix of close details and broad landscape shots. To achieve a variety of visual styles and depth, Roman used several lenses, including the Tamron 28–75mm F/2.8 DI III VXD G2 and the Venus Optics Laowa 10–18mm F/4.5–5.6 for Sony E mount, along with the Lensbaby Composer Pro II fitted with the Sweet 80 Optic and the Sol 45mm for more stylized Canon EF–mount shots.
