Readable Markdown	What a stunning spring we are having this year! I’ve been getting outside so much to enjoy all the blooms, fresh air and sunshine. It made me think, what a good time to list out some of the best hikes in Spokane, Washington that are great for almost anyone. Spokane is a haven for people who love the outdoors, offering a plethora of hiking and walking trails. Whether you're seeking a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike, the Spokane area has something for everyone. Here are some of the best hikes and walks close to Spokane - most under a 30 minute drive from downtown. ### Iller Creek \\| Rocks of Sharon Trail in Dishman Hills Conservation Area Primary Activities: Walking, Hiking, Biking This 3.5-mile loop trail is a local favorite, offering a moderate hike with rewarding 360-degree views atop the Rocks of Sharon. The trail is well-maintained and provides a mix of shaded forest and open vistas, making it a perfect choice for a half-day adventure. With a large parking lot at the Stevens Creek Trailshead, this trail is a popular option for locals.

The L[oop Trail](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/rimrock-conservation-area-palisades-park-loop-trail) provides stunning views of downtown Spokane and is ideal for families or those looking for a leisurely walk or anyone needing wheeled access while the [Waterfall Loop](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/washington/palisades-waterfall) will have stream crossings, mud (especially in springtime) and more rock jumping, but provides more natural views and a waterfall.
