We spent the last night of the trip in Spokane after having dinner in Coeur d'Alene. Sunday morning I drove downtown, got coffee, and walked around Riverfront Park and Spokane Falls.
A lot of neat scenery, geology, hydrology, engineering, and history come together here in a pretty small space. And it looks like the city has done a nice job of trying to tell the story and make it accessible to folks. There's a great system of paths and bridges across the river and among the various islands above the upper falls and Riverfront Park is a wonderful space close to Spokane's core.
The falls represent a significant drop and would be great to see at high flow. They would have been even more exciting to have seen before all the replumbing.
