The Rocky Mountain Gateway
The Rocky Mountain Gateway is the region at the northeastern part of the state. Here you will find unspoiled forests and mountainous terrain. Near the town of Newport you can find great hiking trails along dense pines in the Colville National Forest. If you are visiting in the winter, grab your skis and snowboards. The Upper Wolf Nordic Ski and Mountain Bike Trails offer great terrain for any experience level. If water activities are more your style, you can find over 70 lakes in this region, most within 50 miles of Spokane. The Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is a great place for families. Grab a pontoon boat to relax and explore this majestic lake but be sure to look carefully along its shores. Locals promise you will see abundant wildlife like caribou, deer, elk, and bears. Head north to Ione and take a tour of the spectacular "Z" Canyon, surrounded by crazy cliffs and waterfalls. If a fisherman will be with you on your visit to Washington, be sure to check out favorite areas like Roosevelt Lake, Spokane River, Kettle River and Pend Oreille River. Here you will find such varieties of fish like brook, brown and rainbow trout, steelhead, largemouth and smallmouth bass, Coho, Chinook and Kokanee salmon, whitefish and walleye. Outdoor lovers will find paradise in this region’s mountains, lakes, streams, and rivers |
