Summertime Blues
It's hard to believe it's September already. Yep, those lazy days on the lake are coming to an end. My camping gear has made its way to the top of that dusty garage shelf and hosing off the last bits of sand from my tires is still on my never-ending to-do list. There's that annoying ...
Our FAM-tastic Week!
Last week was our annual FAM Tour. What is FAM, you ask? It's a week where we invite travel writers from all over the country to join us in exploring everything Spokane has to offer in hopes they help us promote Spokane as a destination to fellow travelers. (Hard to believe they pay us ...
Hit the Links!
So, my last blog on disc golf - or Frisbee golf, or whatever - perhaps didn't garner the attention I was hoping it would. No matter - this one's about real golf!
It's a great feeling when you're hauling around the golf bag instead of a disc. It's a more mature game when you play ...
See Spokane for Free
I love to travel and experience new cities in my free time. To me, a new place is an adventure waiting to happen! But sometimes money gets tight which makes it difficult to explore new places. As a native of Spokane, I can honestly say that this city is different. There are handfuls ...
The Other Golf Game
The Grateful Dead, The Boondock Saints and Disc Golf. Not three things you'd normally see bunched in the same sentence. But trust me, they have one thing in common that keeps them alive: a strong cult-like following (I like two out of the three. I'm not one of those Dead Heads).

Firework Frenzy!
When I think of Independence Day, I think of fireworks. As a child, my family would pile in the car and drive to Lake Roosevelt to watch the sky light up. I remember lying on a blanket in the grass with my dad, watching the brilliant array of colors dance above us while the banging ...
Secrets of Spokane
It seems to me that every city has its own interesting history and surprising trivia. Boston has Babe Ruth. Chicago has deep-dish pizzas. San Francisco has Alcatraz. So I can't help but ask the question: "What about Spokane?" Sure, we are known for our clock tower, the funky ...

Pack your mountain bike, bring your endurance. You're about to experience five days of non-stop adventure and sweat. Tons of trails surround the Spokane region, giving you ample opportunity to test your stamina. Plan your trip to cover these five rides in five days:

Music and Merlot
If you asked me to name some of my favorite things, I would quickly tell you that I love outdoor concerts and delicious wine - especially when you put them together! This explains why I adore Arbor Crest Wine Cellars' Summer Concert Series. The concerts get started the first weekend ...
Doing Our Part
Everybody who visits Spokane falls in love with the Centennial Trail. It's the 37-mile paved trail from Nine Mile Falls to the state line. It even continues another 24 miles on the Idaho side of the border through Coeur d'Alene. It weaves its way through Riverside State Park, the city ...
