Mt Spokane

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mt Spokane is a towering mountain peak located in the Inland Northwest, boasting scenic trails and historic ruins that lead to an observation deck with breathtaking views. Regardless of weather conditions, people feel gravitated towards this majestic natural wonder. It provides ample opportunities for biking, hiking, and enjoying the stunning vistas it offers.
Moderate hike up to the top and back down to the parking lot. The Discover pass is required to park at the park. You will take two trails to the top #130 and #140 either trail is clearly marked with blue diamond shaped markers all the way up so it is fairly easy to follow. The All trails app is very handy on all the trails and if you go off the path it will let you know at least on the paid version. I highly recommend this location.
Mr O — Google review
Amazing drive with spectacular views of the mountain ranges! Excellent ski park for all levels from bunny hills to longer ones. The hike in the snow was pretty good. Open access to many walking and hiking trails. The vista house was close at this point of the year so will definitely want to be back for that. Parking wasn’t difficult but imagine it gets crowded during summer.

Mt. Spokane can be seen throughout the Spokane area, as far as Steptoe Butte about 2 hours south of there.

Farragut State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Lakefront state park boasts hiking/skiing trails, water sports, disc golf, picnic areas & campsites.
Farragut State Park is a hidden gem! We went for a light hike through some peaceful, scenic trails that were easy to enjoy without being too strenuous. Afterward, we headed into nearby Bayview and grabbed some delicious pizza—perfect post-hike fuel. The highlight of the day was the boat ride on the lake. The weather was perfect, and the views were absolutely stunning. We spent a couple of hours soaking up the sun and admiring the natural beauty. The best part? We actually got to watch an eagle hunting—such an unforgettable moment. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a mix of outdoor adventure and relaxing nature vibes. Can't wait to come back!
Miguel T — Google review
Great State Park with several campgrounds within. Each has clean bathrooms and hot showers. More than 40+ miles of trails for fun hiking and mountain biking. The lake is beautiful for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and boating. Love it.
Tami W — Google review
We visited the state park on a Thursday. We arrive around noon so we couldn’t check-in to our campsite. We decided to drive around and see what it had to offer. We were completely surprised at how big the park is. Once 2 o’clock came we headed back to the visitor center and checked in. Our campsite was spacious. Dry camping only, in our loop. There was a bathhouse and toilets centrally located.

Beautiful campground, friendly staff, close to town. Make sure your pets don't get off leash though, as you will get scolded, not very nicely by camp host. All in all, a very family friendly place and beautiful scenery.
Deanna S — Google review
This state park is absolutely gorgeous! The lake is stunning, and the swimming was awesome—such a perfect spot to cool off and enjoy the outdoors. The campgrounds are spacious, clean, and really well-maintained, which made the whole experience even better. Everything about the park feels cared for and inviting. I would highly recommend visiting, and I’ll definitely be coming back!
Rachel B — Google review
HUGE state park. There are a lot of great features! Favorites were: Beaver bay day use area - good swimming bay. You can't paddleboard in the bay itself, but you can launch and explore from there. Food is available for purchase at Wet Willie's, and there are rentals also. We packed in our own boards. Super busy, the parking lot was packed but it was still beautiful! Disc Golf - there are 5 courses to explore! Brig Museum - we spent so much time there and enjoyed it! We loved it and want to come back someday! It's worth noting that you can't hang hammocks from the trees while you're camping, which is a little sad. But the trees are probably better off, I suppose.
Heidi G — Google review
Lots of room at the campsites, quiet, great places to get in the lake, trails for hiking/biking, and not far from Athol if you need groceries or something. We loved our weekend here!

Silverwood Theme Park

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Water Parks
Largest Northwest theme park offers 65+ rides, a water park, casual dining & an on-site RV park.
Exceeded all my expectations. I will break down my experience into categories: **Staff:** The staff was absolutely amazing. They seemed very happy to work there and were incredibly helpful. **Water Park:** The water park featured some fantastic rides. The changing rooms were very clean, and there were plenty of food and drink options, along with ample seating for everyone. I do recommend bringing your own towels, as they do not rent them out, but they are available for purchase. **Roller Coasters:** The park has a variety of coasters, with "Tremors" and the newer "Stunt Pilot" being particularly smooth and exciting. I’ve visited many parks across the country, and these attractions can compete with the top national brands. **Food:** The food was above average for a carnival/theme park setting. While the buffet was somewhat lackluster, it is a good deal if you plan to go back multiple times throughout the day. **Overall Pricing:** Everything, from parking to food, admission, merchandise, and souvenirs, was fairly priced. Since this park isn’t part of a nationwide corporation, you won’t encounter the corporate markup typically found at large parks like Disney or Six Flags. In summary, this was an excellent experience. We visited on July 4 and 5, and even though the crowds were a bit larger on the second day, everything remained manageable. The park was absolutely beautiful, with every detail—from landscaping to music and cleanliness—being spot on. I would definitely recommend this park to any family, and the 6.5-hour drive we made to get there was worth it.

Was great! Spent 2 days in the parks at end of June, not too busy at all. Clean, so many rides and everyone was friendly. The preloaded wristband was good for the teen to get eats as he needed, no need to carry cash with.
Barry H — Google review
Great experience at Silverwood this weekend! Visited from Montana and this amusement part was easily found with navigation. The line in moved quick. $10 parking, longer parking lanes to walk. Checked in at a bag/purse check area. Walked a running under to main road to get to the park. Entering the ticketing area was quick, buy your tickets online (you can even load cash to a wristband). Oh, don’t forget to bring a credit card or debt card with you “verify your online purchase”… The park map was helpful and easy to read. Overall, the park felt safe. Which is important! Plenty of staff and easy to get around. Great kids space with quiet areas for little ones. Consider bringing a change of clothes (socks) just in case you get wet in the raft/log rides. There were some demo coaster chairs at some entrances for trial, because not all body types work with all rides. That was considerate! The lines in general weren’t miserable but be prepared with sunscreen and to practice some patience. Have fun, hope our little review helps!
Nateal T — Google review
September was definitely a perfect time to go to Silverwood. Parking was easy. Short walk through the tunnel to the parks entrance. Tickets cost less when fall starts. Pizza was great while we got to watch the magic show. Lines were practically nonexistent. Got to go on all the rides and some multiple times because the lines were so short. Spent the whole day there from open to close and had a great time. Definitely going back next year.
Bret G — Google review
I visited Silverwood Theme Park for the first time to experience Scarywood—and it was totally awesome. Riding roller coasters in the back, in the dark, was a completely different experience. As a thriller author, I naturally look for thrills. I’m not a full-on adrenaline junkie, but the characters I write definitely live for the rush. We spent more time riding coasters than exploring the haunted houses. People later said the haunted houses were amazing, but the lines were over an hour long. I wasn’t up for that kind of wait. It was also freezing. Even though I’d bundled up, I wish I’d worn fleece pants. Not a ding on the park—just a heads-up. If you go at night in northern Idaho, be prepared for cold. Food options were solid. Parking was a bit of a bottleneck. There were still open spots, but traffic getting in was hectic. Once inside, ride lines averaged about thirty minutes, which felt reasonable. Stunt Pilot was epic. I’d ride it again in a heartbeat. Looking forward to my next visit.
Aaron A — Google review
The pass gets you unlimited rides, access to both the water park and the theme park. On the weekday the lines were reasonable. The weekend and warmer weather brought longer lines. Everything is well maintained and in food operating order. The water slide that takes you uphill is a blast. Definitely recommend during the week for shorter lines. Really fun rollercoasters and train rides.
Justin B — Google review
Everything was beautiful, pleasant and clean, including the parking lot and rest rooms! The staff were polite and respectful. Come on a weekday, not weekend. Our huge family had a wonderful time. If you attend with 15 or more guests, you qualify for a group rate, which needs to be booked ahead of time, & is so worth it! I only have one small complaint: the music was too loud. My family had to shout over each other to have a conversation. Kudos to their lifeguards, I can tell they're highly trained and take their jobs seriously. (I'm a certified lifeguard) Thank you Silverwood, we can't wait to come again next summer.
Amanda J — Google review
Just so so good. What an awesome time had by everyone in our group. We went with a big (200+) group. We got unlimited beverages and an included supper at the ChuckWagon. From the staff to the grounds to the rides, everything was super impressive and well thought out. Loved the coasters- so well designed.

Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Nestled in the heart of downtown Spokane, Spokane Falls is a breathtaking natural wonder that captivates visitors with its stunning beauty. This iconic landmark is surrounded by a sprawling 100-acre park, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and exploration. The falls consist of two distinct tiers—the Upper Falls and Lower Falls—each offering unique perspectives of the rushing water as it cascades through the city.
This is a great place for a rest stop when traveling. The Spokane Falls are right next to a city park. It is clean and safe to walk around.
Rachael D — Google review
Beautiful riverfront area around falls. Lots of parking options. We road our bikes around all the trails that meandered back and forth across the falls. Very nice area to spend a day. Many food options nearby as well
Jojo W — Google review
The waterfalls and immediate surrounding area are nice and the view is lovely but just tons of druggies everywhere.... It gets really bad about 2 blocks away where every street corner has people drugged up and some walking around on fentinol bent over like zombies... Totally creeped out not safe. We went at about 730-9am...
Shonna H — Google review
This was truly a memorable place to visit! Riverfront park is an amazing place to plan a family outing. The perfect mix of nature and city. There's a variety of dining options in the area. The many easily accessible paths allow visitors different angles of the falls. If you're looking for an up close view, consider taking the Numerica SkyRide! It's a budget friendly purchase and offer military and senior discounts, as well as group discounts. The line wasn't long and they were really efficient getting riders on and off. On the ride, there's audio of history with lots of great information to learn about. The only downside is inconsiderate guests who litter and parking is something that you'll definitely have to plan ahead of time. Overall a great experience! Please remember to keep our beautiful public areas clean and enjoy the beautiful views!

It’s nice with quite a few good spots to view from. I heard it’s more impressive in spring when there’s melt runoff. Spokane downtown seems mostly about eating and drinking so it makes for a pleasant family experience. Oh the over 100 years of hydro power is impressive. It’s free.

Riverfront Park

Mentioned on 
+101 other lists 
Park
Nature & Parks
Riverfront Park, the site of the 1974 World's Fair, is a 100-acre oasis in Spokane that offers a blend of natural beauty and urban attractions. The park features iconic landmarks such as the clock tower, giant wagon, building blocks, and the world fair tent. Families can enjoy picnics by the river and entertainment for kids while taking leisurely walks. A recent addition to the park is the ice ribbon that provides a unique experience around Downtown Spokane.
Iconic, Scenic, and Full of Photo-Worthy Moments – A Must-Visit in Spokane Riverfront Park is a spacious and beautifully designed urban park that offers a wide variety of attractions for visitors of all ages. From unique playgrounds and sculptures to multiple waterfalls, bridges, and scenic photo backdrops, there’s something to explore around every corner. One of our favorite features was the upper waterfall, which offers a dramatic view, especially from the large bridge that makes for the perfect photo opportunity. There are several bridges throughout the park, each offering different angles and perspectives of the falls and river. While some areas have limited shade, the park is ideal for a leisurely stroll, and the natural beauty combined with art installations makes it a must-see for anyone visiting Spokane. The lower waterfalls are smaller but still charming, and the park’s iconic views help capture the essence of the city. Another perk? The shopping mall right next to the park. On a hot day, it was a great place to cool off with full AC, grab a drink, and enjoy its modern, clean design. We especially appreciated the thoughtful lighting fixtures, photo spots, and how open and stylish it felt—definitely not your typical mall layout. Even better, My Fresh Basket—a health-focused grocery store—is conveniently located nearby. It’s a fantastic option if you want to grab fresh, organic food or snacks without eating out, especially for those on the go or watching their diet. With plenty of street parking and mall parking available, Riverfront Park is incredibly accessible and well worth the visit. Whether you’re there for the waterfalls, the photo ops, or just a peaceful walk, this park truly captures the heart of Spokane.

Riverfront Park is absolutely beautiful — the waterfalls are stunning, and the gondola ride gives you amazing views of the river and city. It’s a perfect spot for walking, relaxing, and taking pictures. The only downside is that there are too many homeless people around, which can make certain areas feel uncomfortable. Other than that, it’s a must-visit for the scenery and attractions.
Ifrat H — Google review
We hung out at Riverfront Park on a Thursday evening and had an awesome time! Rented some Lime scooters and cruised around as the sun was setting — such a pretty time to be there. The park has great views and a really nice atmosphere. I only had a short time to explore, but it seems like there’s a lot more to do, so I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend stopping by or spending an evening here if you’re in Spokane!

Riverside Park has been great to visit every time we’ve gone. Even though there are people living on the streets downtown, the city has done a really good job keeping the park itself feeling safe and welcoming for visitors and kids — which is so appreciated these days. The park is always clean, beautifully maintained, and full of fun things to do: walking paths, open green spaces, water views, playgrounds, and plenty of spots to explore. It’s lively without feeling crowded, and we’ve consistently had positive experiences here. A wonderful place to spend an afternoon as a family.
Savanah E — Google review
The park is a lively and picturesque destination, brimming with a variety of activities, captivating artwork, and meticulously maintained gardens and pathways that showcase breathtaking views of the landscapes and waterfalls. Security is readily available for your peace of mind. However, be aware that parking near the park is limited, with fees starting at $5.

This is a great spot to check out in the middle of the city. Nice easy walking. Lots of stuff to see for everyone of all ages. History about the city. Play ground for kids.

Beautiful Park! Thoroughly enjoyed walking through and taking in all the beautiful scenery. Very clean and well maintained. So much to see and do. Fun for kids! Our kids loved the unique playground and red wagon slide. Keep your eye out for yellow bellied marmots on the rocky areas near the river. They are so cute!

Manito Park, a 78-acre park opened in 1904, is a stunning outdoor recreation and leisure area in Spokane. The park features various gardens such as rose, lilac, formal, and native plant gardens along with a picturesque pond. With its immaculately tended terrain spanning 90 acres, including an arboretum, conservatory, and botanical gardens named after the Algonquin word "manitou," meaning fundamental life force animating all things.
Have always loved this park. Ample areas to walk throughout. They really did a good job with cleaning up the pond too. You can see the beneficial plants on the bottom. They do wonders to keep the water clear. Great place to take a walk, run, a bike ride, and enjoy the great scenery.

“Absolutely Stunning Park – A Must Visit in Spokane!” I can’t say enough good things about Manito Park! The gardens are breathtaking—each one feels like stepping into a different world. The Rose Garden is so vibrant and colorful, the Japanese Garden is incredibly peaceful, and the Duncan Garden looks straight out of Europe with its perfectly designed symmetry. I loved wandering around the walking paths and taking in the beautiful landscaping—everything is so well cared for. The Gaiser Conservatory was also a treat, with unique plants and flowers you don’t see every day. What makes this park extra special is that it’s completely free, making it such a gem for locals and visitors alike. Whether you want to take photos, enjoy a picnic, or just relax and breathe in nature, this is the perfect spot. I’d highly recommend visiting in spring or summer when everything is in full bloom, but honestly, it’s gorgeous year-round. Definitely a 5-star experience! 🌿🌸🌹

Manito Park is pure magic! 😍 Absolutely loved everything — it’s so beautiful, you can’t stop staring at the flowers, trees, and ponds. Total fairytale vibes! The atmosphere is so cozy, like a hug for your soul. The park is perfectly maintained, with spots to chill, snap pics, or just soak in the nature. Amazing for family walks or solo escapes. I’ll be back a million times and recommend it to everyone! Spokane, you nailed it!

An absolutely gorgeous park, lovely enough for a movie set. There is an annual garden, a perennial garden, a conservatory of inside plants that you can look at early in the day when it's open, an Oriental garden that also has limited hours, and a beautiful pond with a nice walking path around it. There are also sports courts, walking trails, and at least one really nice playground.

My first visit to Manito Park was in the Fall of 2004 when my husband and I were newlyweds. After many moves to different states and several years later, life brought us back to where our lives began together in Spokane. We love visiting the many gardens as a family with our sons. My husband and I visited the Rose Garden together a couple years ago in October. The rose blooms were plentiful and spectacular in the middle of October! It was such a peaceful experience. We visited Duncan Gardens on my Birthday in July this year and just recently this past weekend we visited the Japanese Gardens. I find so much joy simply being in nature and there is so much beauty to appreciate in Manito Park. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. I always enjoy seeing people enjoying the park and gardens as well. It’s a great place to be and visit anytime of year! Walking down Manito Boulevard and around the park on the pathways during the Fall with the golden leaves everywhere is amazing! I love it so much and the best part is it’s always free to visit!! Manito Park has always been a beautiful blessing full of joyful memories for my family.
Jen N — Google review
Fantastic park - Spokane is truly lucky to have this place. Multiple gardens to walk through and the care and upkeep effort really shows. Duncan gardens is a grand landscape of flowers, with a conservatory attached. Incredible amount of species inside this building. Rose garden was our favorite- incredible how many different roses can be found here. The Japanese garden was beautiful as well. Hard to believe this is all free- I have paid to enter botanical gardens that don’t come close to this. So many enjoyable walking paths, benches and shade can found throughout the park. There was a cafe as well! Parking could be a problem where you want it- but numerous small lots exist around the park.

Wow! What an awesome park! There are some great playground areas, a small lake and a very beautiful flower garden. There is also a solarium with tropical and dessert plants. There are walking paths and several parking spaces throughout the park to provide ease of use. There are probably several restroom areas but the one we found was attached to the solarium. I would love to revisit in various seasons.

The Liberty Lake Farmer's Market is SO cute! This is a legit farmers market too with folks selling good WA produce at reasonable prices. One could easily go here and get most of your go-to produce, and then some. There were also lots of cool vendors like ceramics, flowers, hand-made jewlery, soaps, oils, and other products, and much more! If it wasn't so far away for us we would definitely be back more frequently!
James W — Google review
Produce, flowers, drinks and food are the main focus of this farmers market. There were some other items but very few. Nicely organized so you can see each booth in loops. Flowers are all priced very well. Good food options to choose from. Only about 2-3 craft or art booths. Lots of parking in an open field.

Our favorite market local to the Spokane area by far. We come from Spokane Valley, a fifteen minute trip, & it is worth it ten fold. It is also our only weekly market that we attend! The selection of fresh produce, from mushrooms and exotic tomatoes, to every berry or plum imaginable and donut peaches. There are vendors for pickled goods, local and humane beef sources, cider providers. There is always live music and food/drink vendors. Fresh flowers from this market weekly are a must. From one single mother to another- treat yo self. Very family friendly, full of variety and a beautiful place to do your local shopping. 11/10 recommend!

Making lactic acid fermented onions and radishes for garnishes. UPDATE: Pickled onion & radishes were a hit and highly recommended. Re-jarred them in pints, then used the radish brine for quick pickling cucumbers. Amazeballs.

Vast waterside space featuring walking trails, a playground & a sand beach area.
Great park on the waterfront. I like to hike Tubbs Hill. There are always people on the trail so it feels safe! The restrooms are clean and comfortable. There is a small bar/cafe where you can sit waterfront and have a drink.

McEuen Park in Coeur d’Alene is a fantastic, family-friendly spot. It’s clean and beautifully maintained, with a fun splash pad, great playground, and plenty of open green space. The dog park is well-designed with separate areas and agility features, making it perfect for pets too. A wonderful place for all ages to enjoy!

Such a great park and playground! The kids loved it. It was even a dreary rainy day and we still had a blast! One of the best playgrounds we have been on ever. So big and so well designed. We love the fort look to it all too! It let the kids imagination go wild!

What a beautiful park right downtown! Easy access from I-90, large parking lots with designated RV parking as well. I was there on a Sunday and traffic was very light. Nice, clean dog park, although small. Gravel surface, no grass and not really much area for dogs to explore. But room to romp, run and play. There two fenced areas and fresh water stations.

I have come to this park since I was 12 years old and how it has changed over the years. It's a a great park situated on the shores of Lake Coeur D' Alene with lots of open area for picnics, Frisbee, Basketball, Volleyball and of course swimming and all the other lake activities. The artwork (by mostly local artists) that they have added over the years is amazing and of course finding Mudgy and Millie at various locations (a total of 5) along the trail has always been fun for the kids, inspired by a local author. Dogs are welcome and please be mindful of others so this continues to be an option for dog lovers, there are not many pet friendly area's anymore. As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

Lots of parking right on the water. There is nice park with a beach with plenty of space, at least in September. We brought our blow up SUP and went out on the lake, the water was super clear. Parking is expensive $3.00 per hr and it says no rv

Absolutely beautiful park and beach!! Restrooms are large and clean and close to both the beach and playground. The playground is amazing, your littles may want to stay and play for quite a while there. There's plenty of room on the sandy shore for everyone. Perfect for floaties and swimming. You may want a light anchor for your floaty as there are times the current brings you back to shore. It is wheelchair accessible from the parking lot and around the cemented pathways throughout the park. I didn't see wheelchair access to the beach however. You would need to walk down a few steps to reach the sand.

Tubbs Hill is worth driving over from Spokane for a hike. Depending on which trail you take, there are different levels of terrain difficulty. It is a long trek around without a bathroom. Go before you start your hike.

Awesome place to start the hike on the east side. Parking in a lot and on the street. Can hike to the quiet beach or complete the loop around Tubbs Hill.
Norrad — Google review
Nice little hiking area. We covered most of the trails in an hour. They seem newly built and could probably use a few more switchbacks on the summit trails but it's definitely not a touch hike overall. The main loop is very easy. We parked in the east lot and had not trouble finding parking at 11am on Friday. Weekends are probably pretty busy though.

Nice neighborhood family-friendly trail park. Great for hiking or running. The trails are well marked. Elevation gain to the summit is manageable and doable for really almost everyone! Some bird watching and lots of deer roaming in the park.

It was amazing, but I'm very tired. A few trails for everyone 😁, we chose the loop trail, the whole trail was up or down, but the views were fantastic. We took many photos, nature is beautiful. There were many small and large rocks, bridges, the trail led among conifers but sometimes you walked in the sun without a bit of shade 😁. It was worth it although I had the moment that I could not cope, I would not come 😳. I came, I overcome fatigue 😀

Lake

The stunning Lake Coeur d'Alene presents ample opportunities for recreational activities. With its picturesque surroundings, visitors can indulge in a range of water sports, take seaplane rides or bike on multi-use trails that run along the lake. The downtown area of Coeur d'Alene has plenty of Huckleberry products and excellent dining options to explore.
We spent the 4th of July here and it was beautiful, peaceful, and so relaxing. The fireworks put on by the town over the lake were phenomenal. There is a doggie swim beach for your fur babies to enjoy! The tall pine trees that line the lake are so pretty. The kids had a blast tubing and fishing.

Beautiful Lake! Amazing place to vacation. The lake and watersports, seaplane rides, and biking/multi-use trails around the lake. Coeur d'Alene is a great little downtown to walk, with Huckleberry everything, good restaurants. Take a short boat ride from Coeur d'Alene resort to the golf course and have an amazing breakfast on the patio overlooking the floating green

Seven Stars Alpaca Ranch

Ranch
Sights & Landmarks
This is the only alpaca farm I have ever been to so I don't have anything to compare it to but in my opinion this is an amazing ranch. It's been 7-8 years since I went so I can't remember all the details but I do remember how much fun it was. I think we toured some cabins for rent on the property and maybe some sort of store. She took us on her Gator type vehicle through the woods and over a little stream. We got to feed the animals, and she let the kids herd the animals from one pin to the other. It was fun for the kids and adults. 10/10 recommend

A beautiful little farm on the outskirts of town. Run by the most amicable owner and maintained to perfection. Plenty to see. The animals are adorable and friendly. My 3 year old, the grandparents and I all had an amazing visit here. Highly recommend! Wish we had brought a little picnic to sit and enjoy the view from the ridgeline. Check to see if this is allowed with day visits!

It was a cold, cloudy & slightly rainy day when we made the trip up to this ranch. Little did we know we were about to meet the most amazing people we have ever met. There is love & respect everywhere you turn. The ranch, land, and the animals are impeccably cared for by Sonia and Andy. While there were so many beautiful things to see, Sonia stopped us at one point so we could listen to the wind blowing through the mountain grasslands-it was awesome. If you are anywhere near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, you must make the trip here. It's inspiring.

Coeur d'Alene Casino

Casino
Nightlife
Modern casino resort with a pair of hotels, an 18-hole golf course & a spa, plus slots & bingo.
I was here for a conference. I don’t golf or gamble so location only got a 4 since if you don’t do either your options are more limited but they have a spa, golf simulator and more to keep you busy. Room was nice and clean. No issues. Service and employees were friendly as well. Food at the bar was also really good.

Weve finally learned our lesson coming here. Most likely won’t ever be back unless we need a quick pit stop in our way out of town somewhere. After years and years of coming and everytime we say never again…and just keep coming…this time we said nope. Never again. There’s sooo much but this time as we checked in we were “greeted” by a man named David. We had to do the greeting and he acted like we were the biggest inconvenience of his life. He wouldn’t even make eye contact. Acted like he had better things to do..and we were the only ones at the desk. No line, noother people lined up. Nothing. We had to pry information out of him and continually just got smirked out for any questions we had. I finally looked at his name tag and asked if he was having a bad day and he abrubptly said “no”. You could actually tell this was his normal everyday smirky jerky personality. So that’s how you start your vacation…with him. He knows it all but doesn’t want to be kind or give you any info and if you ask he looks at you like your stupid. If you ask where a certain thing is he just says, you’ll find it! And points in the direction to go. Wow! And then you go to the players club and there’s two young girls working who obviously hate there job and hate to have to help you. Again. People are an inconvenience to anyone working there. They act like they are doing you the biggest favor by just showing their face at the desk. Have no time for questions or personality or etiquette. Worst customer service everywhere in the hotel. Seems everyone hates their jobs but still get paid for being rude to people so it works for them. Doesn’t work for us. They need more and newer restaurants. It’s always the same ole same ole deli or red tail restaurant. And one other one that doesn’t ever seem to be open when we’re there. In all the years we’ve been there we have literally won a little something one time! We brought our golf clubs just in case in our road trip we found a great golf course. Well don’t try and play here unless you’re one of the richest. It was over $150-180 a person!!!!!! And Their clothing in the pro shop is highly over priced. Who can afford this place??? It’s dirty and needs their ventilation updated. It’s one of the smokiest casinos we’ve been to. I think the highlight of ours gay and trip was a blueberry pancake we had at the restaurant hat was delicious and as big as the whole plate . Other that it was just a reminder to not come back.

The Spa Tower rooms are well appointed, spacious, and appear to be clean. However, the beds in two rooms were very uncomfortable. Our party of 5 checked in Friday, May 9, and out on Sunday, May 11. Neither of the two nights was restful, which is not what you want before playing golf! The food was pretty good, we had dinner at Chinook and our waiter, Felix, was fantastic. The salmon was overcooked, and the prime rib wasn't 'prime'; other than that, everything else was delicious. This was a splurge for us, a day at the spa for my wife and her friend... a round of golf for my son's birthday, joined by my best friend and his son. In the future, we'll most likely just make it a day trip. For us, the hotel isn't a good value.

I really wanted to like this casino. So much, we came back a second day. The bar staff, are amazing. Hats off to them. Day 1: players card sign up. Not welcoming. We had a younger brunette ( hair in bun) who was thorough in the process but not friendly or welcoming. It was uncomfortable. We played for a few hours and ate at Redtail. Food was OK. Seasonal veggies was a plate of carrots with the salmon. Salmon a little over cooked. Played for a few more hours. Broke even Day 2: Thought by now we would have had some promotion as we entered. None. Played a few hours across 20 or so machines, payouts vs bet low and bonuses felt non-existent. Ate at the pizza place. Surprisingly good. Service was OK from a bunch of younger adults. Put 100.00 into a game and machine ate it. Jen walked past, was friendly and said she would get help. After 30m and looking around for help, went to bar and they sent someone. Received wonderful help after waiting so long. Played for a few more hours, horrible payouts and never received 1 promotion , outside 1.27 bonus play. For having a new director of gaming, do better. Not worth a 30m drive, lose money BUT have zero incentives on rewards is the icing on the cake. I'm okay losing money but have better rewards towards bar, Food, etc. Probably won't return. Edited to add, very clean casino. Bathrooms and floor were well kept.

Nice sized casino. The floor is stretched out but electric scooters are offered with a small deposit. The pool is small and indoors. The food court was on the other end of the casino floor from the hotel rooms. Each bed only had three pillows which is kind of weird. Other than that it was great

Casino smokey rooms were equal to my barracks room in the Army not very good clean but simple. I did however win in the casino not allot but paid for the entire trip. Didn't golf at the casino went to saint maries golf course though imamd it was allot better than it appears fun challenge. Its location is pretty remote. But thats reservations i guess. Overall it was fun. Not rating it bad i do recommend it.

Circling Raven Golf Club

Golf course
Outdoor Activities
Wow! What an amazingly beautiful course! Well worth the $179 green fee this, my 292nd course played, resides in my top 10 in scenic beauty and quality of fairways and greens. It is both challenging and fun to play! Chris in the Pro Shop, and Marshals Kirk and Don were most accommodating, friendly and professional. The Pro Shop is well-stocked and restaurant serves a great Club sandwich. I will definitely be back to play this one!
James P — Google review
I have played Circling Raven before a couple time. But I forgot how great this course really is. The front 9 is good. But the back 9 is magical. As the course wanders through the trees and up and down the rolling hills, it is one of the most beautiful settings of any coarse. It is so remote that you don’t see or hear anyone. It feels as if you are alone in the wilderness. Now the course is in great shape. There were no dead spots or imperfections. The greens ran fast and true. Probably close to 11.5. The bunkers had light fluffy sand. Some of the best I have hit out of. If you are in the area, it is a must play.
Todd S — Google review
My perspective on Circling Raven will probably be a bit different than most posts, as Kim and I were the 'ride alongs' on the boys golf day! We do this regularly on vacations and have seen many beautiful courses, HECK we live on a golf course with views. ALL staff were very friendly, welcoming, helpful and displayed a sense of humor which was a much appreciated added bonus. Circling Raven itself was a cut above most courses and absolutely breathtaking, every single hole. The way they have married the course to the natural beauty surrounding and throughout the course is exceptional and you never know what you'll see around the next bend or over the next hill. The added beauty of aged wooden bridges, old train tracks, tunnels, blooming crop fields, native wildlife (and on OUR day, those huge fluffy clouds) make this a course we'll be more than happy to crash on any future trips as well. Oh... and least I forget, the boys said the course was in top condition, challenging and made for some hilariously colorful self commentary along the way. Wonderful memories all around.

Excellent layout, fast undulating greens. If you want to eat b4 ur round, show up early. They are in no hurry to get food out at the course restaurant.
Michael T — Google review
Just an awesome experience. Every golf fan needs to experience Circling Raven at least once. Of course, be warned that once you play, you'll be planning your next outing or at least thinking about it. Played here June 5 and conditions were spectacular. Greens are lightning fast. The pin setter needs to be reminded that most of us are tourists and not professionals. I'm guessing that over half the pins were on the edge of the greens with very little room for error. It's probably going to add a few extra strokes to your game, but still, we walked away with a sense of euphoria.

We were there to watch our daughter play in the high school state tournament. The course was beautiful! The variety on the holes was impressive. The course is long, would highly suggest a cart. The carts have nice features like a small cooler, club and ball wash station, and GPS screens you can order from. I really appreciated the course hosting the tournament. It was an incredible opportunity for our daughter. We will definitely plan to go back and play as a family!
Alecia J — Google review
The scope a size of this course is enormous. I love that the course is in front of you. No blind/trick shot necessary. Generous fairways for a short hitter like me. Played from white tees it was less intimidating for a first time player. Good distances between holes. Very fair price.

Wow! All I can say is wow! This course was amazing! The groundskeepers did an OUTSTANDING job! The clubhouse was amazing and Jordan at the front desk of the clubhouse was very helpful! Can’t wait to come back! Seriously haven’t golfed in over 10 years and I had such and amazing time! The carts were pretty awesome, the service ON the course was epic and it was just an all out Amazing opportunity, Connie Jacobs, thank you so much for helping us experience this wonderful time!

Vista point
This scenic, 150-acre natural monument is known for panoramic views from its 3,612-ft. butte.
What a gem of a place to find in the Palouse that yields amazing views of the surrounding area. The views were stunning. It's hard to see the topography of the area when just driving through, but this view does it! The road is a little rough, so take your time driving up. Bring some camp chairs and enjoy lunch with a view. I can imagine that sunrises and sunsets are spectacular.
Tammy S — Google review
This is more like a lookout point rather than a state park, as there is no visitor center, no washroom, no campgrounds, no picnic area... It's a highest spot, so it has best views for the near and far fields. It's also a good place to see the sunset and sunrise. Due to the bad wild fire smoke during our visit, the air was very smoky, hard to see clearly, but we still took lots beautiful pictures. The wind was very strong, may blow out the tripod and make it hard to hand held a DSLR camera stabely. Strongly recommended.
Ken X — Google review
Wow, what can I say? It looks like a big hill in the middle of the Palouse. That is, until you start driving up. I'm not afraid of heights, but the hairpin turns are kinda interesting, especially if you have to pass another car. If you drive out to "the butte" you might want to bring a lunch and a jacket. The view is awesome. There was a chilly breeze the day I took my trek. Cool enough for a sweat shirt. Be prepared. There is an overlook area to take in the grandeur of the Palouse. And, looks are really deceiving. I thought, well "butte" you don't look so intimidating! Wait till you get to the top! But here's the challenge. There are a lot of inconspicuous pot holes throughout the asphalt road to the top. Drive slow! You definitely don't want a flat tire half-way up or torn off oil pan, in the middle of nowhere. Also, I almost forgot, a park pass is needed.

Beautiful views of the surroundings. See a 360 degee view of mountains on the horizon and lots of agricultural fields. Great sunsets, too. The road to the top is very rough in spots. Popular Park, the state needs to work on the road to fill in potholes and fix some rough spots.

Be careful on the spiral winding road up and down as it’s a bit narrow and two-way traffic, but the views from the top are worth it. There’s plenty of parking on two levels. There’s some fun and interesting info boards at the top. 360 degree views. Even during the Smokey time when there were fires from crop burns and excessive heat and dry conditions, the views were expansive.

My experience with Washington State University has been deeply disappointing. The administration is disorganized and inefficient. They request extensive personal information but handle it with little respect or care. Their website is poorly maintained, some links even direct applicants to the wrong portal, creating significant headaches and delays. On multiple occasions, I was asked to submit duplicate materials, which only reinforced the sense of disorganization. To make matters worse, I was overcharged for tuition and had to navigate loops to get it resolved. Given the high tuition, the quality of education simply does not justify the expense. The combination of administrative chaos, poor communication, and underwhelming academic value makes it a poor investment of both hard-earned money and time.

First off, I want to start out by saying I am disabled, neurodivergent, part of a minority group, and I have never had issues with any of the staff or faculty because of that. But I have also never harrassed every group that doesn't let me join them. I do not believe I am entitled to whatever I want because of my disabilities or background, and I accept no as an answer. Wait... That's possible? I am writing this part of my review to warn people that his review is PURELY because he is throwing an online tantrum after he has been harassing clubs, fraternities, literally every organization that decides they do not want him a part of their organization. I have been denied jobs because of personal bias at this school but you don't see me slandering the entire school because of a few crappy people. Look McLovin, if you're that butthurt, go to a different school. Not a single person HAS to let you in and the worse you are as a person because of being told no, the less anyone wants to have you in their group! Grow up! Now for my review of this school. I honestly love this place. This has been my home after my life was physically threatened by my stepfather and my family being too scared of him to defend me. I have found light in my life after starting here, I found community, I found home. I have lived in the dorms for almost 2 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am very involved in resident and campus life and plan on staying that way the remainder of my time here. The only thing I urge the school to consider is to really investigate who is teaching their students. There are a lot of professors here who have very high fail rates but are allowed to continue teaching because of research and/or tenure. Those professors are teaching 100 level classes and honestly seem to want to set the students, who are predominantly freshmen who haven't learned the college work life yet, for failure. The point of university is to succeed through the teaching of professors along with your own work, yet a lot of them don't care to teach in a way that allows students to actually learn. Students should not be forced to rely on youtube tutorials or similar in order to understand basic, predegree material, otherwise, why even have professors teaching the class?

⸻ Title: “WSU Is Failing Its Most Vulnerable Students — And I’m Living Proof” I never wanted to write this. But I have to. Because silence is no longer an option. Washington State University didn’t just fail me — they are actively failing to protect me. As a disabled, neurodivergent, and marginalized student, I have done everything I was supposed to do. I followed the rules. I reported harm. I sought accommodations. I trusted the systems that WSU promised were in place to protect students like me. But instead of safety, I was met with retaliation. Instead of protection, I was cast aside. And now — in one of the most shameful moves a public university can make — WSU is denying me access to even the online campus, the one space where I could continue my education safely, away from the harm I endured. I live with autism, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and other serious conditions. I have documentation. I have medical records. I have trauma. I’m not asking for special treatment. I’m asking for basic human decency, legal accommodations under the ADA and Title IX, and a chance to keep going — to survive, to finish my degree, to reclaim my life. But instead, Washington State University has created every barrier possible to push me out. • They’ve ignored my documented disabilities. • They’ve denied me access to online courses, even when being on campus puts me in real psychological and emotional danger. • They’ve silenced my Title IX concerns. • They’ve enabled systems of discrimination and ableism that are not only immoral, but illegal. I am not just being forgotten — I am being erased. And if WSU can do this to me, they can do it to countless others. Students who are afraid to speak up. Students with invisible disabilities. Students with trauma. Students who need support — not suspicion, not punishment, not bureaucratic cruelty. WSU markets itself as a place of inclusion, safety, and progress. But behind the glossy brochures and empty PR statements, there’s a darker truth: if you don’t fit their mold, if your needs make them uncomfortable, if you challenge the status quo — you’re expendable. To WSU: This is not just a policy failure. This is a moral failing. A legal failing. A humanitarian failing. You are breaking students, not building them. You are traumatizing students, not teaching them. And every day you deny me access to my education — even online — you prove that your promises mean nothing. To any student reading this who feels unheard, unsafe, unseen: You are not alone. I stand with you. And I will keep standing until we are all protected, all accommodated, and all given the dignity and safety we deserve. Washington State University: do better. Because you’re not just failing — you’re actively harming.

WSU lacks communication, as a first year there was an event called price is right where you would win electronics and more. WSU did not promote this at all and relied on an app that wasn’t promoted. I was told to get an app just for check ins but not to find events. That is really dumb.

Very nice way to spend a few hours on a Saturday, perusing up and down the main street enjoying all the sight and sounds of people enjoying themselves. Many creative vendors, foods of all kinds. Benches to sit on in the shade and listen to the nice music.

This market is always fun to visit, rain or shine! It's a pretty decent size for a smaller time, and I love that everything is pretty much down one street. There's delicious food from a great variety of cuisines and of course lots of great produce and other fun items to check out.
Debbie O — Google review
Torn. Torn, torn, torn opinion. This market is so beautiful, in a pretty and historic university town right in the middle of the incredibly unique Palouse region--and is very accessible with plenty of area parking. But... It is such a hipster, groovy beauty pageant by 98% of all the patrons and venders. And, no one seems to be happy. Fashionably aloof is the best way to describe the crowd. And there are no bargains here, either, like you find in Saturday markets in Central WA. Just people wanting to ooze, schmooze, and be seen. And what few hot food options they do have are priced accordingly for the euro spenders...
Gcleff11 — Google review
A good street market in the region. Farmers, organization and individual selling different stuff. From plants, vegetables, foods, handicrafts, home decorations, and other things. It's locate at Moscow main street and start May up to October each year from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. I recommend to visit this market.

Snake Dancer Excursions is the 3rd tour company we have tried in the valley, and by far, THE BEST! Our captain, Clayton, was very skillful in the most challenging waters and polite and professional to all other river vessels. We had a great experience! Will definitely go again when people visit us from out of the area! A must do!

We did the 6 hour excursion to dug bar had an absolute great time Caden and Boyd were knowledgeable and very friendly. They made sure everyone was safe and having fun
Byron C — Google review
Always a great time! Clayton piloted us this trip and did a great job of pointing out the history/animals/geography and Boyd did a fantastic job, as usual, as the deckhand. We even seen a moose and Clayton said it was only the 2nd time he seen one in Hell's Canyon. The fried chicken/pasta salad/chips/cookies was awesome. Be sure to reserve your slot for when Boyd turns 19 in 4 years and can finally pilot!

We were a group of 6 on this jet boat. We had the time of our lives! Our captain was awesome! A couple of us got a little wet. The 4 people at the back of the boat got soaked. The rapids were fun. I would highly recommend this to everyone. We had a few elderly folks on the boat, they had a great time as well.
Mike T — Google review
So much fun! Tyler and Boyd were great guides! We did the half day tour. Awesome lunch and cookies! The lunch spot was also great with fresh fruit trees. We enjoyed apricots and apples from the trees. The swim stop on the way back was refreshing! I would highly recommend doing this trip!

We did the 11 hour tour all the way to the Hells Canyon Dam in July. It was the perfect time for some good rapids that were not too rough, but enough for an adventure. Our party of 8 had a wide range of ages from 20 to 82 years old. Everyone had a great time and some want to come back again next year. Our captain is the owner of the company and an amazing host! He gave some great details of the land, wildlife and history! Whenever there was wildlife to be seen he made sure we saw it. We felt safe and throughly entertained. Lunch was perfect with cold fried chicken, pasta salad, veggies, chips, and baked beans. Also, homemade cookies that were delicious! Be prepared to get wet with appropriate shoes and clothes! Going in July, it was 100+ degrees in the canyon, so getting wet felt great!!
Joy G — Google review
Wonderful experience! Saw a Bear, Eagles, Heron, and Mountain Goats. We really enjoyed Grayson the driver. He was so funny and knowledgeable! Only things we would recommend is the chicken for lunch was cold from the fridge, and then we checked in in the morning. It was a little confusing on where we should go to find the office. We did get a call from them trying to have them help us figure out where they were. A billboard sign pointing toward where they are located would’ve been helpful once you get to the Marina. Overall 5 stars! Thanks for the memories!!
Amanda C — Google review
We did this tour as a family over Memorial Day and it was great! Boat ride is very smooth considering the water you are in. We stayed dry, due to side covers and roof. We also saw a ton more wildlife than expected. LOTS of big horn sheep, pelicans, and even a sturgeon! I highly recommend if you have any out of town guests and want the Hells Canyon experience, this is the way to do it!

Was a chaperone for my kids field trip here. The guide was knowledgeable and patient. We spent the right amount of time in each area to engage the kids. Answered the questions from adults and children alike with the same attitude. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who's curious about what they do.
Pepper L — Google review
This is one of the tallest dams in the world. It is very impressive. There are two scheduled tours of the dam. One in the morning, usually at 10:00 AM, and one in the afternoon at about 1:00 PM. A tour guide will take you deep inside, then take an elevator to the top, and walk about 1/2 the distance of the dam across the top. In the museum there are stuffed animals of the local wildlife, and a model of the dam and the reservoir. You can watch short films about the dam, and the building of the dam. The most interesting for me, is the last river run logging film.

Nestled along the scenic banks of the Clearwater River, Clearwater River Casino & Lodge offers a delightful blend of relaxation and entertainment. This casual riverside retreat features an inviting indoor pool, live performances, and a variety of dining options to satisfy your cravings. The casino itself boasts an elegant atmosphere with both smoking and non-smoking areas, housing around 600 video machines that promise endless fun. Open 24/7, it caters to night owls and early risers alike.
I stayed here on a motorcycle road trip. I showed up early, before check in time. The young woman at the desk tried, but couldn't get me into my room early. She was kind and willing to let me secure my bags in their check in area so that I could go out exploring in the local area. The king room was clean and comfortable. I had dinner in their sports bar, nothing big, just a burger and fries but they were really good. The bartender / server was prompt and friendly. I would also highly recommend the cookies from the snack bar at the other end of the casino. Overall, a pleasant stay!

We stayed one night at this hotel. Check-in is at 4pm. They won’t let you do it any earlier. Their restaurant was closed so we grabbed a bite at their sports bar. The rooms are nice but beds were uncomfortable . Price was decent for a last minute reservation. Staff was knowledgeable. The casino has a lot of different games. Machines are tight.

Well besides that most the staff is rude. They truly dont care about there customers. I heard security one night tell a customer, well idbwe dont get yours we take it from the next person. We dont need it. It may be true. This is one of the only places I've been where there willing to treat you that way. Thete comps are literally pathetic and its not like they don't have the money for it.

Well, the Creator blessed me, through the Clearwater River casino and through me my family. I walked in to the casino. Put a $20 bill in that $0.80 8 to 10 pushes in. I got free games and I hit the jackpot for $ 10,333.33. That took care of my mother's final expenses while she was with us and after. Forever grateful and what beautiful staff not just physically beautiful but their hearts. One of the staff members actually came outside and gave me a hug before I left. Wasn't that beautiful?. I will definitely come back.

Hells Gate State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Park
Hells Gate State Park, located on the south side of Lewiston along the Snake River, offers a stunning 960-acre natural setting for camping, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and kayaking. The park's mostly level terrain was shaped by Ice Age floods and holds historical significance as a former village site for the Nez Perce people. Visitors can explore geological features and North America's deepest canyons through activities like jet-boating.
We love this close to home campground. This time we were in the cottonwood loop with no services. There is however a shower house and restrooms. There are 2 shower stalls, however one of the showers wasn't working (they did get it fixed just before we left). The playground is a good size and right next to the beach. It's a short walk from the camps to the beach regardless of which loop you stay in. We had deer come into our camp 3 times while there, saw bunnies and a turkey!
Kim B — Google review
This was a great park. There was plenty of space for everyone, and the sites each had spacious grassy areas. There are lots of beautiful deciduous trees and plenty of trails for hiking. We enjoyed the waterfront trail and the scenic elevated trails accessible from the park. We walked down to the interpretive center and enjoyed the 30-minute film about Lewis and Clark. They even let us bring our dog in on a leash. They also had little doggy treats for her. There was a very nice discuss golf course for those who enjoy the sport. We had full hookups for our RV and utilized one of the pull through sites. The only complaint with this park is that it is on the beach Snake River, but there are no sites that have a good view of the river! There is so much brush that you Woodbridge even know you were on the river from your RV. Also, they are all back in only sites. So even if we got one of the sites that would provide a peek from the height of our front window, it wasn't allowed. It's a beautiful park, and we would definitely go there again if in the area. It's just interesting that it wasn't laid out to enjoy the beauty of the river from THE RV.

We hiked to the basalt rock formation and that was a beautiful and fantastic experience. For some strange reason it is not marked on the State Park map and it was unnecessarily difficult to find the way. The hike was 7 km and took us about 2 hours.

What a great park! We camped here, unfortunately only for one night, but it’s worth a visit for sure. It wasn’t super packed so that was nice. There is a nice, paved walking path along the river. The only downside was the highway across the river. The traffic noise was pretty loud and while it slowed at night, it seemed like there were loud cars and trucks around the clock.
Courtney W — Google review
Clean, well maintained campground on the river. Lots of wildlife and trails to walk. River access at the park as well. Would stay again.

This is a beautiful state park with nice campsites near the Snake River. We had water and electric hookups at our site. We loved the paved path for a bike ride (or walk), which you can take all the way into town. Restrooms were clean, but old, with free showers. We liked the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center- cool relief map and the movie was good, too. They water the grass so it is still green even on hot days. Lots of trees for shade in the campground.
Kristine M — Google review
When I arrived after dark, my rv spot was easily found. I had to drive slowly and carefully so as not to bother the grazing deer. On the morning that started earlier than usual I noticed two flocks of turkey including a turkey tom displaying his tail fan. The park is large with many facilities including boat docks, frizbee golf, and hiking a long trail along the river. I also noticed bicyclists of a every age on mechanical and electric bicycles and tricycles. Beautiful park just a few minutes away from small city conveniences. You won't be disappointed.

I've been to WERC twice, once back in 2010, and again in 2011 to volunteer. Sadly, since then, most of the wolves that were there have passed on, but Biologist Jeremy and the interns did an amazing job of keeping up the Center grounds. This year, they are in the process of moving to a new location at the intersection of Hwy 95 and Woodruff Rd, where they plan on expanding.
Tim J — Google review
I went there for my birthday 3 years ago! Even though it was in the summertime, it was still quite cold being up in the mountains. Winchester is a tiny little town of a population at 350. You'll get a kick out of driving into town and seeing the Winchester Gun hanging from the two wood posts that greet you as you driving to town. Sanctuary was beautiful! Easy walkable trails but, I suggest you have a good pair of hiking boots and wear your denim pants. They have Decks that you can stand on and look down at the wolves if they're out and about. They asked you to be quiet and not to howl they have signs everywhere for that. The lodge itself was handmade by the researchers that live up there and rotate shifts I should say every few months. They have their campers in their tents apparently that they stay in during the touring months. If you like to get out in nature, and respect it, this is a nice place to go. Oh and pack a picnic lunch!
Leanne C — Google review
We travelled out of our way to see this place, but left not seeing any wolves. If you can imagine a zoo where your chances of seeing the wolves is somewhat low, then this is how this place is as an attraction. The three remaining wolves they have (the rest have died) are not wild (they were raised for a movie and here they are fenced in), but the fence is a ways from the lookout platform and they may not (likely are not) in the area of view anyway. So it could be neat to see them in this natural setting, but bewared that this seems might not happen and you'll have to pay anyway.
Peter M — Google review
I spent several days visiting the center and had a thrilling and enjoyable experiences. While it is true that a wolf siting is not guaranteed, with a little time and patience you can increase your chances. By talking with staff and interns you can tilt the odds in your favor of seeing one or more of the wolves. If the the wolves were tame and domesticated the experience would be more like a zoo. It is not. The wolves are free in their enclosure.
Catherine E — Google review
They are there to educate and treat the animals to the best of their ability. They are a non profit, with great education and amazing staff. They truly care and I am excited to see what they plan to do in the future when the last of the pack passes away. I'm hoping for rescuing more animals from horrible situations, your stories were very interesting. Thanks for everything you do!!!!

We took the children to St Gertrude's museum and monastery. The grounds are lovely and include garden beds with only columbines, and many more beds with roses and other flowers.

We stopped here on our family vacation and had a great time. It’s not everyday you get to tour a place like this with the fam. We enjoyed walking around the grounds looking at the beautiful flowers. We also slipped into the chapel. Our 2 year old discovered his “outside” voice and decided to enjoy it in the chapel to hear the echo. We were greeted with love and warmth by a sister who loved children. Perfect! The little museum was great as well and we enjoyed see all of the different displays. Thanks for a great experience!

This is the place for a great jet boat ride through Hell’s Canyon on the Snake river to the dam. This 6 hr trip is just the right amount of time. Traveling through two class five white water it is thrilling and amazing. The boat is amazing and powerful. The captain was a pro with great experience of the river and insight to the history of where we journeyed. Whether you are 10 or 70 years of age you won’t be disappointed with Killgore Adventures.
Mike A — Google review
Took the Hell's Canyon Dam tour. Overall, it was okay. The tour would have been nice except for the people who were on the tour. The people in the boat with us were about 5 bratty kids...their grandma who complained the entire time, another couple who was clueless, and some other people who just hogged the front seats the entire time. The rapids would likely be a little more impressive if you were in a smaller boat and could feel them. When you're going down the rapids in such a big craft, even the biggest of rapids feels just like a little bump. The best kind of tour would be doing the jet boat up the river, and then a raft through some of the big rapids. But overall, if you only have 1 day...and you want to see this remote wilderness of the river...this is really the only way to do it.
Craig L — Google review
Great day on the river. Enjoyed the stops along the river at the old homesteads, seeing the wildlife, hearing the stories of how the locals survived in such a isolated place and the box lunch at the dam. The rapids were executed in a exciting manner, while feeling the boat was in the total control of the captain.

Hot Springs & Geysers
July 2024: We stopped by on our way home to Spokane, WA. We paid $12 each to swim. It was summer and hot so they had cooled the pools down as much as possible. The big pool was 89°F and was 3ft at the shallow end and 9ft at the deep end. The smaller soaking pool next to it was kept at 102°F and could easily hold 10-15 people. The young lady at the front desk said that they keep the pools hotter in the winter, about 98°F for the big one and 106° for the smaller one. I'd love to visit in the winter and try them then too. We rented a basket for $2 to hold our stuff as there are no bags/purses allowed by the pool area. We soaked for a couple of hours and then got changed in their changing rooms. Interestingly, there are bathrooms at Zims but no showers because there is no cold water at all on site. They use the hot spring water for everything, even watering the plants! We ate lunch at Zims as the huge entry area had picnic tables and was air conditioned. They also had a nursing room, lounge area, pool tables, and an air hockey table. I enjoyed the experience and would love to go again!

We visited these hot springs while on a family trip to McCall and I am really happy we decided to make the drive to Zims! The facility was really old-fashioned and cute (made me nostalgic) with everything a family could want to make a day of visiting the springs. Tickets are for the full day, which is much better than other places. The man at the front desk was so kind and considerate. He had so much really interesting info about the springs and history of the place, so it was fun to chat with him. The pool was better equipped than most public swimming pools (complimentary swim vests, toys, chairs, etc). The springs are all natural, so there was a bit of algea in the pool, but it would be silly to be upset about that because the whole point of hot springs is the natural mineral water. The only drawback I could see is the lack of shade, but it's not their fault I am pale. We will definitely make this a regular stop!

Small pool was hot and comfortable even on a cold windy winter day. Reasonable price of $10. Only thing I wish it had was a shower for rinsing off before and after.

Zims Hot Springs is an absolute hidden gem! One of the best things is that no reservation is needed—just show up and relax. There's free parking, even for RVs, trucks, and trailers, which makes it super convenient. It's also animal-friendly, so you don't have to leave your furry friends behind. The staff is truly amazing—friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

I love Zims. Came at noon when it opened and only a few of us in the pool. Two pools. One for slacking is a little warm. The big pool for swimming is cooler and pleasant. Very chill and family friendly. No need to buy a basket to put your stuff in when it’s early and there’s only a few people. There’s games to play inside and snacks to buy. Bring a water bottle!

This is a nice spot to stop along highway 95. Appreciate the affordable price ($10/per adult) and that they have towel rentals. The facility is definitely older, however the water is a nice temperature. This is definitely not a "fancy" hot springs. But like I said, it's affordable and open for walk ins. It has a nice, calming atmosphere. The hours Google provides seem to be funny. The actual opening time is 12 noon, on the days they are open.

My husband and I went in a Monday afternoon and it was a beautiful day. We had the pool all to ourselves it was so serene. The place was clean and the changing rooms were immaculate. The worker was so sweet kudos to him. Prices are impeccable. Thanks Zim's we had a great time.

Very nice hot springs. Simple design, super friendly staff, and great water. All co-ed family friendly establishment. No showers. Nursing room available. Gaming corner and lots of tables and benches to gather at. They also offer a basket check so your belongings don’t have to stay out in the open.
