Top Reasons to Go

Historic lodgings: Take a step back in time. Visit the historic hotels and inns in Spokane, Walla Walla, and Dayton, which have been updated with modern amenities and high-tech touches, yet retain the flavor of yesteryear.

Natural wonders: Get off the beaten path to experience the unique waters of Soap Lake, see the cliffs and canyons along the Columbia River, and hike in national forests.

Wineries: Explore the many wineries in Walla Walla, Tri-Cities, and Spokane.

Family attractions: Slip in a little education on your family vacation by visiting pioneer museums, then play at water parks and Spokane's sprawling Riverfront Park.

Big sporting events: Join over 40,000 runners in one of the largest timed running races in the nation–-Spokane's annual 12K Bloomsday Run. And take to the streets for the biggest 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the world, Spokane's annual Hoopfest.
