Home > Coulee

A coulee (or coulée) is a deep steep-sided ravine formed by erosion, commonly found in the northwestern United States and southwestern Canada. Most coulees were originally formed during the rapid melting of the glaciers at the end of the last Ice age. Some coulees are dry for most of the year; others may contain small streams.

The word "coulee" comes from the French Canadian coulée, from French word "couler" meaning "to pour".
