About Mount Spokane State Park

The park covers about 12,444 acres in the Selkirk Mountains and includes roughly 100 miles of trails. Summer visitors can hike, bike, and ride horses, while meadows fill with wildflowers and huckleberries. Winter brings groomed cross-country ski routes, snowmobile areas, and the Mount Spokane Sno-Park designation from December through March. The summit of Mount Spokane rises to 5,883 feet and offers wide views. Summit Road usually opens in summer, and a fire lookout on Quartz Mountain can be rented overnight.
