Hike to Eagle Peak
Hike with us to the aptly-named Eagle Peak in the Dishman Hills Natural Area with stunning views of the Spokane Valley. This is a moderately strenuous 4 mile hike in the northernmost area of the Dishman Hills. The view from Eagle Peak shows the possible connection to the south conservation units known as Glenrose and Iller Creek.
This is a moderately difficult hike on rough trails. The trails may be muddy or rocky in places, so wear boots or shoes appropriate for uneven terrain. Weather can be iffy,
