A green, riverfront city, this Washington gem is known for the rippling waters of the Spokane River, which is garlanded by Riverfront Park in downtown Spokane. It’s here that you can take in some of the tranquil natural beauty of this state to the heart of the city. As well as the hiking and biking trails, and public parks on offer, Spokane has engrossing museums and cultural activities, not to mention some of the best wineries in the region. Book a Spokane vacation rental spring through to fall to enjoy the whitewater and scenic trails, or visit in winter for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports, and combine the best of city life with thrilling outdoor pursuits.
Are you looking for things to do in the area? Although it can be tempting to stay in your comfortable vacation rental, you'll want to check out everything that Spokane has to offer. These are some of the most popular attractions to put on your list, all within 30 miles (48.2 km) of the city center:
If you’re lucky enough to get tickets for a Spokane Philharmonic performance at the impeccably restored Fox Theater, you’ll find it hard to judge whether the music, the newly enhanced acoustics, or the gleaming Art Deco decor is the most impressive thing about your evening. The city’s Knitting Factory Concert House also draws big names, and you can combine a night of music with a tasty tour of the Cork District and its award-winning wineries. Of course, the outdoor pursuits are hard to beat here too, with adventure seekers drawn to the whitewater rafting just downstream of the city.
Spokane’s location between the Cascades range to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east means it’s drier here than other parts of the Pacific Northwest. Summers are warm – temperatures can reach into the 80s, and July and August being the hottest months. On these sunny days, head out from your Spokane vacation rental for a cooling splash at Liberty Lake State Park, or Beaver Bay Beach at nearby Lake Pend Oreille. In winter, you can make the most of the snows at the Mount Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park, an hour northeast of the city.
A Spokane vacation rental gives you access to the numerous hiking and biking trails through town, and sun-dappled lakes and rivers for swimming, boating, rafting, and fishing. Surrounded by forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, it is unmistakably the Pacific Northwest. One of the best ways to appreciate it is by flying through the treetops on a zipline adventure – an adrenaline-pumping tour over dark forest glens, sparkling mountain streams, and native wildlife like elk, deer, hawks, and eagles.
