Spokane, Washington is the place to be. This may to be hard to believe, but there are some incredible places to explore in the Spokane area. Eastern Washington has diverse geographical environments and provides various outdoor adventures because of its vast variety in landscape. In this personal blog, I will give my personal hot spots of Spokane and tell you where to go if you find yourself in this beautiful city.

The first location that I highly recommend visiting is the top of Mt. Spokane. There is a long windy road that veers off at the top of the summit that leads you to the peak of the mountain. This road is incredibly rocky and narrow, so make sure you drive a durable SUV. In addition, I recommend only visiting when there isn’t heavy snow fall or ice on the roads. At the peak of this mountain, there is a stone cabin that sits beside the ski lifts. It’s a beautiful 360-degree view of the mountain range that Mt. Spokane is located. Specific address and navigation to this peak can be found on Google easily.

The second location that I recommend visiting is Bowl and Pitcher Park. This park is in North Spokane, close in proximity to Whitworth and has countless recreational activities available. Bowl and Pitcher has approximately 5-7 miles to hike or bike, a camping site, and a suspension bridge that you can walk across to access the trails. It is also a beautiful place to take pictures.

The third location that I recommend in the Spokane area is visiting the Palouse Falls. This is farther away and it’s about 2 hours away. I promise this drive is worth the time. The water falls are absolutely jaw-dropping and you can hike down closer to the falls (at your own risk). If you do happen to visit the Palouse, make sure you follow the signs and stand far away from the cliff sides; especially if there was reason snow or rain fall.

These are only a few of Spokane’s hidden beauties. There are countless hiking trails within five miles from one another. However, these three locations have been ones that I have continually revisited and not gotten tired of the incredible views. Directions to these three places can easily be found on google.
