We were visiting Spokane on vacation and went to Mt. Spokane one day. We stopped at the ranger station to get a recommendation for a hike and pay the fee to enter (it's a discover pass park). The ranger told us to hike to the tope of Mt. Kit Carson. It was approximately 2-3 miles to the top and the view was very nice. It was hazy the day we were there, so the view wasn't as good as it could have been. You could see some lakes and the river, but just not with the clarity that would have resulted in a great view.We then drove to the top of Mt. Spokane. Again, the view was nice but due to the haze wasn't awesome that day. We did see a pika and enjoyed watching it run around. Would have to admit that I'm more use to hiking around Mt. Rainier, so the scenery at Mt. Spokane did compare to that.

Took our horses up to do some trail riding, wonderful experience. Great trails , well marked and groomed. Very respectful other users on the trail ,we passed day hikers, people with dogs, and mountain bikers. All shared the trail nicely.

I take my Harley up there all the time, it is a great ride nice and peaceful and a lot of great roads to explore in the area

We have lived here in Spokane and finally made it up there last month. It is a pleasant drive on a very nice road. There was not a lot of traffic and you are limited in a vehicle as to how far you can go. The views are amazing and you can see many lakes from the top. You do need a discover pass to park,

If you time it right, you can find huckleberries galore just off the trails and roads here. And if it's not huckleberry season, it's still a great place to take the kids and have a picnic.

Summer, winter, and fall, we love Mt Spokane! Huckleberries and hiking in the summer, Green Bluff picking through fall, and easy riding in the winter. Just got dumped on by some fresh powder but you're stuck at work? 45 minutes later you're night skiing for < $20! Love the Foggy Bottom on a bluebird day, this mountain is awesome!

Take the time to visit the Vista House on top of the mountain. It's an easy walk from the parking and offers spectacular views. Bring dramamine for people prone to motion sickness on the drive back down.

Since late fall my Wednesday morning hiking group has been going elsewhere due to snow and weather, but yesterday with blue skies and temps in 70's we drove up Mt Spokane Day road, past ranger station up to the "Big Switchback" (elev 3900 ft), and parked there (you need a pass - the ranger does patrol). Crossed road and pass cedar rail fence, and around the gate then off dirt road, first right up on trail 100, then in a few 100 yes onto trail 110. Beautiful sylvan hike marked with blue diamond markers, goes north around west side of Mt Spokane. Cross a couple of streams, with new log bridges (so no more wet sox) and some awesome views and changing Forrest ecosystems as we rise to trail junction at elevation 4920 ft. Here we met 2guys riding Mules and has a nice chat. The junction sits on the "saddle" between Mt Spokane and Mt Kit Carson, and trail 140 takes us up to west where at elev 5100 the view east shows the entire crown of Mt. Spokane with its towers. Trail goes as high as 5150, and through some meadows where none of us would have been surprised to hear Swiss cow bells. Panoramic views, then a steep descent to the dirt road where there are picnic tables. East on road takes one back to parking lot, or as we did, go onto this end of trail 100 which rises steeply about 150 feet then eventually comes back to road a few 100 yards from parking. 6& 1/2 miles about 3 hours, and one of the nicest hikes of the year! What a gem, and just 45 minutes from Spokane.

My favorite activity here is snowshoeing in winter and mountain biking in warmer months. You need a Discover Pass and Sno-Park Pass to park in the lots.

If you enjoy any type of outdoors activity, Mount Spokane has every possible opportunity year-round. Spring, summer and fall allow for abundant hiking and mountain biking on the vast system of cross country and hiking trails. Winter months allow for XC and downhill skiing as well as trails for snow machines and snow shoeing. Mt. Spokane is a local favorite for people who want to drive at the most 45 minutes to be quickly at the mountain for whatever type of outdoor activity is in season!
