Panoramic views from the top of Mount Spokane, just watch for traffic coming the other way in some narrow spots or switchbacks. Little hazy when I went from area wildfire smoke but still a very nice trek.

A fun place for hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing! A group of friends went last weekend for our first snowshoe hike of the season and the conditions were great.
