Things To Do

Riverfront Park

Beautiful 100-acre park downtown. We walked around here on our third date. It's fun to stroll, great for kids--carousel, garbage goat, gondola, giant Radio Flyer wagon, open space, Spokane Falls (not as impressive in summer as at other times of year)...good times!

Centennial Trail

The Centennial Trail is a nearly 40-mile paved recreational trail that stretches from Sontag Park in Nine Mile Falls, Washington to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Great for biking, walking, running, etc. Plenty of parks and picnic spaces along the way.

Manito Park

Comprised of five major garden areas (the Nishinomiya Tsutakawa Japanese Garden, Duncan Garden, Rose Hill, Lilac Garden and Ferris Perennial Garden), Manito Park is nationally recognized for its diverse horticultural displays.

Riverside State Park - Bowl and Pitcher Area

Cork (Wine) District

The District is focused in the urban core of downtown Spokane and features fifteen award-winning wineries within walking distance of one other.

Arbor Crest Wine Cellars

Cliff house winery with a great view. Just a few miles from where Elisa's grandparents had a fruit farm and she spent a lot of summers.

Green Bluff--fruit galore!

This is where we're getting married. July is cherry season! This is a whole community of agricultural producers with tons of delicious fruit to pick and fun things to do.

Coeur d'Alene

Lake Coeur d'Alene is gorgeous, and you can walk all around the Coeur d'Alene Resort and the cute little downtown. If you've got a vehicle, take a drive around the lake!

The Floating Green Restaurant

Gorgeous views of Lake Coeur d'Alene and good food.
