One sunny day I decided we had to see the sights of Spokane to show off my adopted home town. We had completed the repairs, but hadn’t visited some of my favorite places. Penny had visited Spokane before but saw mostly the river corridor from the bowl and pitcher to Lake Coeur d’Alene. Mt. Spokane was not far from Rory’s and the sunshine would hopefully make the remaining fall colors pop. It did! We went to the end of the road and got a great look at Spirit Lake. The tamaracks lit up the hillsides and the distant hills reminded us of the Blue Ridge Mountains we saw last spring.
From there we visited the iconic Riblet’s Mansion on a huge bluff overlooking the Spokane River and valley. It is now Worden’s winery, so we enjoyed a glass of wine with a chocolate covered pretzel.
