Great easy loop trail plenty of parking and amazing views. You need the Discover pass to park. The trail is very easy to walk, the views are spectacular and is a very quiet place to gather your thoughts. We got there about 8 15 am and it was deserted but by 1000 am it got crowded. Porto John's and regular bathroom facilities are available at the parking lot. I highly recommend this location.

We attended an AERC endurance ride and camped with horses at the airstrip. The trail system here is quite remarkable. Many multi use trails with a variety of views and technicalities. We really enjoyed our ride (30 miles) and are already considering visiting again on our own. There was a new shelter with picnic tables. Bring your own shade and water in the summer. The weekend we were there, the water was turned off.

We stayed downtown at Ruby River Hotel. It's right on the Centennial Trail, & they allow ebikes in your room. The first day we went East, it was interesting, but no great. The second day we traveled west, a very interesting ride. We stopped for lunch part way, then rode to the military cemetery and back to the hotel. The trail was great, riding thru beautiful residential areas, thru some lightly forested areas above the river. About 20 miles? The 3rd day we drive to the military cemetery then ride to 9 Mile Falls, we enjoyed lunch at the riverside park, and then back. About 24 miles? The 3rd day was one of the best days I've had in quite a while. Staying downtown allowed us to walk to shopping and dinners, overall our trip was amazing!

So close to the city and easy to access. So many miles of hiking trails makes for a new hike every time you visit. Bring your Washington state park discover pass though. 33 dollars a year is a bargain to access this park and every other state park. You can also purchase a pass for the day at the park for 10 dollars. Kiosks are available for that purpose. I go year round, highly recommend taking the kids out or bring the dog.

I live in Walla Walla and this place is always worth the drive to Spokane. Hardly anyone there. You need a discover pass to park at the trail head campground but there's a turnout a half mile before where the view is gorgeous and it connects to the main trail so I never pay. Also worth noting. Don't get confused by the fact that there are two parks, one on each side. I always put in the one that has the suspension bridge and do my exploring on that side. The other side of the river I believe there's a park of some sort bit these are all from the campground side. There's lots of trails if you cross the bridge and explore and the trail on the same side of the campground goes downriver and is really pretty
