Mica Peak trail development
Twenty or so volunteers started trail development on Mica Peak. The peak, which tops out at 5,209 feet, gives recreationists and volunteers alike a unique vantage point on the Spokane-area. The true summit of the mountain is owned by the Federal Aviation Administration and is not open to the public. However, where the volunteers worked was nearly as good, just a few hundred feet below the actual summit.
