Indian Painted Rocks

A segment of vertical rock located along the Little Spokane River has a stunning remnant of Native American painting. It is located in a shallow overhang that protects the art from the weather. It is further protected by steel bars. The artwork is found adjacent to a parking lot that is part of the Little Spokane River Natural Area. The site can be viewed in a matter of minutes. Seeing it offers a greater appreciation of the span of history and time along the rivers. The visit can be a moving experience and well worth the drive. Clearly, it is one of the best historic treasures in the Spokane area.

Warning: Use of the parking area requires a state parks Discovery Pass, which can be obtained for $10 a day or $30 a year at sporting goods stores where fishing and hunting licenses are sold. The pass is also good for a trip to Mount Spokane or visit to the Bowl and Pitcher area along the river.
