I’ll be in Spokane Nov 4th-12th for a conference, and will have 2ish days to explore the area. I adore the outdoors and wanted to see some beautiful sights as well as hike a bit. Preferably locations within an hour or less of the convention center.
Also, Mineral Ridge over by Coeur D’Alene is a great hike with an amazing view of the lake.
Your best bet is to use www.wta.org to find hikes that meet your own desires and abilities.
Thank you! Just didn’t know if there were any “must-dos” in the area
You'll find those there as well.
Must do’s in my opinion: Mount Spokane-Kit Carson or to the top of Mount Spokane from the Snowmobile lot, Bowl and Pitcher area in Riverside State Park, Antoine Peak, Beacon Hill. It’s not that far of drive into Post Falls, Idaho to hike at Post Falls Community Forest which is beautiful.

Dishman hills is great. Mt Spokane has snow on it.
Just because no one else is mentioning it... maybe I'm the dum dum for even bringing it up but make sure you account for the weather. Our first snow is expected next week and sometimes stuff gets icy here. I know that for me I hike with my Yak Traks as soon as the ice starts to show up, but I also fall a lot. And some of the trails are in places you can't drive to without the right car. It's only Nov 4th though so, like I said, I'm probably the dum dum for taking the time to even mention this. Happy hiking!
No thank you for bringing that up! My friends and I are all from Florida, so we’re very inexperienced with snow and ice. We will def take that into account when looking for a place to hike!

Dishman Hills. It’s in town but feels very isolated when you’re walking the trails.
The River Front Park
Walk anywhere in Browns Edition, especially beautiful at night.
Liberty lake is a nice area to hike around
Painted rocks give you a view of the little Spokane river, rocks of sharon give you a view of the palouse
If you can make it over to Coeur d'Alene Resort you can take a short hike around tubs hill and then refreash at the Iron horse saloon

Check out the Bowl and Pitcher area of Riverside State Park. Lots of trails along the river and some really cool rock formations. Rocks of Sharon is also a good spot.
