Tubbs Hill is worth driving over from Spokane for a hike. Depending on which trail you take, there are different levels of terrain difficulty. It is a long trek around without a bathroom. Go before you start your hike.

Great hike. Very popular. Multiple trails. Such beautiful views, clear water and a wonderful bite of raw nature amidst the bustling city. Every 5 square miles of city should have places like these.
