Gepersonaliseerde sterrenkaart van Spokane
47.6588°N, 117.4260°W
Set above the falls of the Spokane River in eastern Washington, Spokane is the capital of the Inland Northwest — a unique blend of pine forests, plateaus and beginning Rocky Mountains. From Riverfront Park to Manito Park, the city breathes between foaming rapids and the peaceful evenings of the upper prairie. Gift a Spokane star map — a present as pure and northern as neighboring Idaho.

Riverfront Park
47.6588°N, 117.4260°W
Riverfront Park, created for the 1974 World's Fair — the first World's Fair on an environmental theme — extends over 100 acres in the heart of Spokane, around the spectacular river falls. Its sail-like Pavilion, the 1909 Looff Carrousel and its gondola over the rapids make it a unique recreational and heritage space.
Spokane Falls
47.6588°N, 117.4260°W
Spokane Falls, forming two cascades of about 150 feet total drop in the middle of downtown, are among the rare spectacular urban falls in the United States. A sacred site of the Spokane people for millennia, they can pour up to 60,000 cubic feet per second of water during spring snowmelt, turning the city into a foaming liquid theater.
Manito Park
47.6588°N, 117.4260°W
Manito Park, spread across 90 acres south of Spokane, houses five remarkable gardens: the Rose Hill rose garden with over 1,500 plants, the formal European-inspired Duncan Garden, the Nishinomiya Japanese Garden gifted by the sister city in 1974, the Lilac Garden and the Joel E. Ferris Perennial Garden. Its Gaiser Conservatory, created in 1912, gathers tropical plants and seasonal exhibits.
