  • Miles Hiked:  5.0
  • Elevation Gain:  200'
  • Hiking Partner(s):  None
• Description:
  • No big bang to start off my fourth full season of hiking.  I was actually just killing time in Spokane, so I decided to stroll along the Little Spokane River.  This should definitely be classified as a stroll or walk rather than a hike.  The trail is northwest of Spokane and begins in the Little Spokane River Natural Area.
  • It was a relatively nice day for March and I only saw one other individual on the trail.  I can't say I was overly impressed with anything, but it was noted in the "100 Hikes" book that I am utilizing, and it felt good to be meandering outside again.  The area actually offered some decent views especially for being located so close to Spokane.
• Maps:
  • Not available for Washington.
• Photographs:
  • This is a wide shot of the area facing northeast across the river.
  • I tried to get a closer shot of the Little Spokane River from my vantage point.
