Dishman Hills Natural Area

This area is always so clean and beautiful every time I visit. The playground is surrounded by a vast grass great for letting kids run wild. Dogs are required to be leashed. There a several trail options of varying distances. Also wooden "stairs" (for lack of better term) in areas where assistance may be needed to get up/downhill. The parking area is a barrage of potholes but if you drive slow it's no big deal regardless of what you drive. Some trails are currently closed due to some forest fire prevention logging going on.

It was a nice, well maintained hiking path. The difficulty level seemed easy to moderate to me, with just enough elevation change to require some effort. The trail seemed well marked and easy to follow, with "You Are Here" signs at many of the forks in the trail.

Amazing. Such a perfect hike, regardless of how long you want it. Plenty of options for all levels. Even go up in the snow! I've attached a view from the top, sunrise.

What a lovely place for a short or a medium hike, as well as a park area with lots of lovely grass and space to play. Be ready for some uphill. And, it all so close to the 90 Fwy. Convenience and fun!

This is a gem within Spokane Valley. It is usually less crowded than other trails or natural areas in the county. The hikes range from easy to moderate, with some elevation thrown in for good measure. The hills offer scenic views of the valley, and wildlife is all around.
