Trails for everyone, forever

Home Go Hiking Hiking Guide Finch Arboretum
WTA is a nonprofit that needs you

We're just as excited as you to get the summer hiking season started. We're psyched our website, app and work for trails help you get outside.

But we're a nonprofit that runs on donations from regular people. If everyone who visited this site this holiday weekend donated $9/month, it would fully fund our work for the next 2 years. Time spent outdoors is priceless, but every donation large or small helps us support those experiences for everyone. Thank you and happy hiking!

Hiking Finch Arboretum

The Finch Arboretum is a 65-acre park found just minutes southwest of downtown Spokane. The site is an extensive botanical and tree garden with more than 2,000 labeled ornamental trees, shrubs, and flowers.

Garden Springs Creek runs along it and several walking paths run through it. A self-guided walking tour along the perimeter of the grounds is provided on the City of Spokane's map, and is roughly 1.25 miles.

In fall, you’ll find that a number of deciduous species produce a color extravaganza. Year-round highlights include a rhododendron glen, an array of conifers, and an extensive collection of maple trees.

Finch Arboretum is open from dawn to dusk, and admission is free.
