| Swithich | A Fine Day Date Climbed: May 16, 2012 | |
| It took about an hour to hike the ski run from base to the summit. Then my brother and I spent some time at the Vista house before crossing the summit plateau to check out other locations. Still 3-5 feet of snow on top. The foot glissading (skiing on shoes) was tons of fun and very fast on the way down. The view was pretty sweet, although, it wasn't from 10000 feet like Sandia. Still a very fun enjoyable trip. -Swithich | ||

| Mount Spokane is a good day destination in all seasons. Sunsets from the mountain can be fantastic... | |

| twilly | Moose attack Date Climbed: Jul 12, 2010 | |
| Climbed from the lowest trail. When we got to the top it was very windy. When coming down I stumbled upon a mother moose protecting her child. Almost got trampled, but than God it turned around before trampling me. | |

| Redwic | Over the halfway mark for WA! Date Climbed: Jun 19, 2010 | |
| While en route to Montana for the weekend, my family took a side-trip to the summit of Mount Spokane. The weather was great, and there was no snow at the summit ridge except for a few minor patches near the communication tower. The Vista House was very interesting, as were the rocky slabs on the upper slopes near that side of the mountain. Mount Spokane put me over the 50% mark for WA CoHPs (20/39), and I could not have asked for better company to enjoy the moment. | |

| I've hiked, biked, snowshoed, skinned, and ran up this mountain too many times to count. I always have a great time and I'm very thankful to have such a great place in my backyard. | |

| Ridgerunner755 | Mt. Spokane Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2007 | |
| Parked at the first lodge and hiked straight up the ski run with my dog. I've looked at the mountain almost everyday of my life from my house in Idaho, but this was the first time I'd made it up there. Definitely no lack of people that drove to the summit. | |

| dluders | Snowshoed Up Twice (in 2004 & 2007) Date Climbed: Mar 1, 2007 | |
| I snowshoed up Mt. Spokane twice now (once on Dec 18, 2004 with my son's Boy Scout troop, and once by myself on March 1, 2007). We parked by the Selkirk Lodge parking lot, and hiked STRAIGHT NORTH up the south slope of the ski slope. Nobody said anything, so we just hiked along the edge of the ski run. The views to the east (into Idaho) are great. | |

| Jakester | Hike, Drive, & Chairlift | |
| I've been to the top about a Brazillion times. Actually hiked it a few times with my ski gear too. After the lifts close we hiked straight up to the summit under Chair 1 hauling our skis and post holing in the soft spring snow. | |

| idahomtnhigh | Great Training Date Climbed: Aug 10, 2002 | |
| The first time I climbed Mount Spokane was 2002, But since than I have used it as my training mountain for my Idaho trips. I climb it at lest once a month sometimes more. I have climbed in every month and in all kinds of weather conditions. There is lots of access point to keep it from getting to borring. | |
