We loved this book store! They had an amazingly thorough collection of books, and was it ever fun to browse! We were looking for some specific titles and authors, however, and they didn't have them, but staff were so helpful to us in finding that out. The historic building they are in is equally stunning, and is a treat just to see on its own. Don't forget to look up when you visit!

7. Centennial Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 568 reviews
This 40 mile paved, car-free trail bordering the beautiful Spokane River has something for everyone: running, hiking, biking, horseback riding and canoeing. The Spokane River Centennial Trail is the backbone of the recreational trail system in eastern Washington and north Idaho, welcoming over 2.5 million users annually.
Reviewed By 804randys - Portland, United States
We rode parts of the Centennial Trail both East and west of Spokane oh, and all of it was wonderful. The entire trail is composed of different geographic regions, along both sides of the Spokane River running through downtown Spokane and all the way to the Idaho state line. Some of it is flat, the downtown area is very crowded with lots of bridges. The route on the west of downtown is beautiful, but very hilly and only for folks in good condition! The rest of the trail is suitable for even small children or the elderly. This is a great Trail so we highly recommend it, along with the Route of the Coeur d'Alenes and the Route of the Hiawatha in Idaho next door. We drove 300 miles just to bike these three routes!!!

Perfect for all ages, Riverfront Park is a really well done park with walkways along and crossing the river, beautiful city & falls views and even a park for the little ones (in a super jumbo radio flyer wagon...so cute). There are sculptures along the way as well which is a great touch. It’s hard to miss and worth the visit.
