Riverside State Park - Bowl & Pitcher — Thursday, Jun. 25, 2020

Eastern Washington > Spokane Area/Coeur d'Alene
Bowl and pitcher lookout

We enjoyed this as a choose-your-own-adventure network of paths; starting at the bowl and pitcher lookout point, going down to cross the suspension bridge, and then up again and heading upriver to find some lookouts. We would have liked to hike up to a ridge on the west side of the river, but the paths up it seemed to be covered in rubble. On the plus side though, there was a lot of really fragrant jasmine growing by the trails and some swifts flying overhead. We certainly weren't the only ones enjoying an evening at the park, but it didn't feel overly crowded. (I do wish there was more mask-wearing though.) Also enjoyed a funny moment on the suspension bridge cheering on a family of ducks fighting the current to cross to the opposing river bank.
