Washington Trails Association, September work parties in the Spokane area, organized by Jane Baker.
Schedule:
Thursday, Sept. 15: Mt. Spokane State Park Washington State Parks
Mount Spokane has many great hiking, biking, and equestrian trails - day hikes that easily accommodate all interests and abilities. The trails are used year-round, and because of this several of the trails need to be heavily maintained and improved to withstand the continual foot/tire/hoof traffic. This is a new project for WTA, and we hope you will join us as we start to help the Park on their endeavor to upgrade these trails.
