Excitement is building for our hike at the Little Spokane River Painted Rocks Area. We have a large group of folks joining us! A Washington State Parks Interpretive Ranger will meet us in the Painted Rocks parking lot at the beginning of our hike at 8:30 am to share details about this site rich in archeology. Optional lunch to follow at 1898 Public House located 3.8 miles from Painted Rocks Trail.

Access considerations: Moderate to difficult. We will only be hiking for about 1 mile. That said, this hike has hilly paths and some rocks to negotiate. Bring snacks and water and dress for the weather. Wear good hiking boots; Ted suggested bringing trekking poles.

Target Birds: wrens; waterfowl; early migrants

Leader: Ted Smith

You will need a Discover Pass to park at the destination. Or you may want to travel with one of our members who has a Washington State park pass. To join a carpool with a pass, please meet us at the At Home Superstore parking lot at 7:30 am where carpools will be coordinated. We will caravan to the site together from there to arrive close to our 8:30 am departure time at the trailhead. For those of you driving directly, we will meet at the Painted Rocks parking lot at 8:30 am.

Please email us at rsvp@cdaaudubon.org to reserve a spot and to receive email event updates. Let us know if you will be meeting us directly at the trailhead or at our Coeur d’Alene carpool staging area.
