Join us for a hike at the Painted Rocks area followed by an optional lunch in Spokane. A Washington State Parks Historian will meet us in the Painted Rocks parking lot at the beginning of our hike at 8:30 am to share significant historical details about this site rich in archeology.

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. We also suggest bringing trekking poles and wearing good hiking boots.

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.
