Eastern Washington

Travel east across Washington and the state’s lush forests and snow-capped mountains give way to a flatter, drier landscape defined by the Columbia River, which flows ever onwards towards the Pacific. Keep driving and you’ll eventually reach Spokane, Washington’s second-largest city, which sits just 20 miles from the Montana border. It’s a rapidly growing city known for its breweries, restaurants and love of basketball, not to mention the year-round access to an endless supply of outdoor adventures. Whether you’re climbing, hiking or kayaking in the warmer seasons, skiing and snow-shoeing through winter, or simply looking to slow down and ground yourself for a weekend, Eastern Washington is an epic place for a Riparide escape.
