As a locally owned, family-operated company, we understand the importance of balancing our professional responsibilities with fun and family time, especially during the vibrant fall season. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our favorite fall activities in the Northwest, focusing on Eastern Washington and North Idaho.
1. Exploring the Scenic Beauty of Lake Coeur d’Alene
Lake Coeur d’Alene, located in North Idaho, is a must-visit during the fall. The changing colors of the leaves create a picturesque backdrop perfect for a stroll or a scenic drive along the lake. Boating, fishing, and kayaking are also great ways to enjoy the crisp fall air and stunning views.
2. Hiking in Mount Spokane State Park
For those who love hiking, Mount Spokane State Park offers a variety of trails suitable for all levels. The fall foliage adds a beautiful touch to the already lovely landscape, making it an ideal spot for a day hike. Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking vistas.
3. Visiting the Green Bluff Growers
Located just north of Spokane, Green Bluff is a farming community known for its orchards and farms. In the fall, you can pick your own apples, pumpkins, and other seasonal produce. Many farms also offer hayrides, corn mazes, and other family-friendly activities, making it a perfect fall outing for the entire family.
4. Enjoying Fall Festivals and Events
The Northwest is home to a variety of fall festivals and events. The Fall Folk Festival is a highlight in Spokane, showcasing local musicians, dancers, and artisans. In Coeur d’Alene, the Fall Fest at Silver Mountain Resort offers live music, food vendors, a beer garden, and scenic gondola rides.
5. Wine Tasting in Walla Walla
Eastern Washington’s Walla Walla Valley is renowned for its wineries. Fall is the perfect time to visit, as the grape harvest is in full swing. Enjoy a day of wine tasting, enjoying the beautiful vineyard landscapes, and experiencing the region’s hospitality.
6. Taking a Scenic Drive on the Palouse Scenic Byway
The Palouse Scenic Byway offers one of the most stunning drives in the Northwest. The rolling hills and farmlands transform into a patchwork of vibrant colors in the fall. This drive is a peaceful way to enjoy the season’s beauty and perhaps stop for a picnic along the way.
7. Exploring Manito Park and Botanical Gardens
Manito Park in Spokane is a favorite year-round, but it’s especially beautiful in the fall. The Japanese Garden, in particular, is awe inspiring with its shimmering fall foliage. Take a leisurely walk through the park’s various gardens and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
8. Visiting the Clearwater River for Fishing
The Clearwater River in North Idaho is a top destination for fishing enthusiasts. Fall is prime steelhead season, offering excellent fishing opportunities. Even if you don’t fish, the river’s serene environment is perfect for a relaxing day outdoors.
9. Attending a College Football Game
Fall is football season, and catching a game at Washington State University in Pullman or the University of Idaho in Moscow is a great way to spend a crisp fall afternoon. Enjoy the excitement of college football and the spirited atmosphere of game day.
10. Taking a Hot Air Balloon Ride
