We recently moved to Spokane, and went out to scout out the trail right as the park opened at 6:30. We explored a little of trail 25, and the picnic areas near the campground. Everything is well maintained and clearly marked. The water and geography were truly something to behold.

Due to the burn ban the grills in the picnic area are covered up and inaccessible.

This trail says its 2 miles but I hikes 9 miles of this trail. It was very hot with little shade but no bugs! Bathrooms at the beginning of the trail due to the close camp sites. Bring lots of water and dip your toes in the water!

The hike was actually at The Fire That Jumped the River, which is a mostly flat area and good for my 15 year old granddog. It is on the same road that goes to the Bowl and Pitcher if you turn off of Nine Mile Road.

Very busy trail today, but once you get a bit away from the bridge it gets less traveled. We turned right after we crossed the bridge and turned back at the spot where the trail connects to the paved Centennial Trail. We made it a loop and walked by the river on the return where there were some spurs to the river edge. Nicely shaded trail with great river views.

This was for a field trip for a 6th grade class.  We learned about the geologic formations and the suspension bridge was a highlight.
