Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Mount Spokane State Park is located at 25211 N Mount Spokane Park Drive, Mead, WA 99021, giving your trip planning a clear focus on nature. Other themes range from wildlife and birdwatching to seasonal U-pick and festivals. You can consider what kind of experience you want to shape your stay.

Trails and Mountain Scenery at Mount Spokane State Park

Mount Spokane State Park is a 12,444-acre park in the Selkirk Mountains with 100 miles of trails. Its mountain scenery and extensive trail network make it a distinct nature-focused option to consider when planning. If you enjoy spending time among landscapes and trails, you might make the park a focus of your stay.

Preserved Habitat and Wildlife Encounters

Feryn Ranch Conservation Area offers a different connection to nature: it encompasses 164 acres of preserved remnant habitat. The area is also included in the Audubon Society’s Palouse-to-Pines Loop for birdwatching. If you’re interested in birdwatching, you’ll find a specific point of interest here, distinct from the expansive park experience.

Cat Tales Wildlife Center is a nonprofit wildlife rescue and educational center in Mead. It offers animal encounters and special experiences where visitors can learn more about wildlife behavior and care, as well as respectful ways to interact with animals. Animals visitors may encounter include big cats, bears, and foxes. Available encounters may vary depending on the season, staffing, weather, and safety conditions.

Seasonal U-Pick and Festivals

Walters Fruit Ranch offers seasonal U-pick strawberries, apples, and pumpkins. Nadair Orchard also offers seasonal U-pick apples, cherries, and pears. Both offer apples; strawberries and pumpkins are listed at Walters Fruit Ranch, while cherries and pears are listed at Nadair Orchard. These differences can help you choose if a particular fruit is important to your visit. Check in advance which U-pick offerings are available for your visit dates.

Activities are planned at Siemers Farm for 2026 as part of the Strawberry Festival and Siemers Fall Festival. These include a pumpkin patch, rides, and entertainment as part of the festivals held there. These offerings are for the 2026 season. If you’re planning a visit, check the dates of each festival and the activities available during your travel period.
