BACKPACKING -- This has been a perfect week to backpack the Wenaha River trail into the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness.
Here's what Paul Knowles, Spokane County Parks planner, had to say after returning from a weekend trek into the area
Went down to the Wenaha this weekend. Perfect timing! No rattlers, ticks, or poison ivy yet and an incredible color show!
The Wenaha River Trail was mentioned in my Sunday Outdoors story on April hiking opportunities as one of my top early-season picks for hikers looking to stretch their legs for a day or several days.
You'll find more details on the hike and the area in 100 Hikes in the Inland Northwest .
