| Many times and with many people. Did the "Seven Summits" hike once (100 Hikes in the Inland Northwest). A tough day. | |

| lloyd | Mt. Spokane | |
| 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. | |

| 1000Pks | Road Closed Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2007 | |
| Argonne (?) Road closed from Interstate, but there is another way. Summit socked in with clouds, and I saw nothing with a chilly wind. | |

| 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. | |

| BSPclimber | Quite a few times | |
| Rode my mountain bike up to the top once from the lodge area, also driven it a few times, and rode down trails and fire roads during a race. | |

| Sharon | Good for training | |
| Discounting all the times I've driven to the top & skiied there over the decades, I've also hiked cross-country to the summit for training, & to teach friends snow skills. The weirdest time was ~March 1995, suddenly coming upon scraps of metal, wiring, pilot logs, medical debris & other detrious -- then realizing we had stumbled onto the site where a poor man had crashed into the mountain during a fierce snowstorm the precious October. The crash site had long been cleaned up...but items, including his keys, were still melting out. Partners: Annette Polastri Briner, Steve Reynolds | |

| ericnoel | Spokane | |
| Well, I'm a peak whore so I'd adding it anyway even though I drove the thing. To make up for that sin, I offer the following trivia question: Which 4 summits in WA are COHPs, COGPPs, P2000 and former (and current actually) fire lookout sites?

| montanaboy | South side Date Climbed: May 15, 2004 | |
| Picked a spot just inside the State Park boundary to stretch the effort out and got in some good conditioning. | |

| Martin Cash | 3 Times Date Climbed: Dec 9, 2004 | |
| Did 3 winter, night ascents on snowshoes via the southwest side. Good exersize with nice views of Spokane below. Twice with Mishell. More of a hill than a mountain. | |

| Dean | Up the ski hill Date Climbed: Apr 19, 2003 | |
| This was my tenth overall county highpoint in my new pursuit and probably the one where I didn't expect that I'd have to hike to get it. It was a 1600 foot hike up the ski hill and me wishing I'd brought my skiis so I could ski down. Actually a fun hike and a good conditioner. Mt. Spokane is a local treasure. | |
