Hike Minnehaha Park

Spokane, Washington

Description

This a great hike about 4 miles from downtown Spokane. Coming up to the park it doesn't look like much other than a playground but as you hike up the hill you can get a near 360 degree view of Spokane. There are 39 acres to hike and mountain bike.

Starting at 2,800 feet hike up the hill through sparse trees and you will be able to see the city after after gaining of 200 feet in elevation. After hiking about a mile and a half after reaching the cell towers you will have a near 360 degree view of Spokane at the top of the hill.
