Spokane Falls

Experience the Roaring Falls

It’s the sound that gets you first. A low rumble in the distance calls out to first-time visitors and locals alike. The Spokane Waterfalls build to a deafening crescendo the closer you get. Especially in May when the mountain snow runoff is at its peak. Its power alone leads us into understanding why the Native American tribes considered the place sacred. Winding for miles through thick basalt formations, the Spokane River carves out a gorge dividing the bustle of the city with spectacular natural beauty. From the tribes who made it their annual meeting place to the present day, the Falls serve as a centerpiece for the city.
