The 90-minute tour was just about right, and I would have been willing to pay more than we did for it. Compared to other conference events, this experience was pretty unique. I think the focus on the city’s history combined with that of different areas of the park was neat, and I liked the connection of Spokane to national and international history.

I loved starting at the falls and connecting it to Native History. I liked the fluid movement through the park, not just going in a circle. It was nice to have a local/someone with connection to the place lead the tour. It was clear that the tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the park…a big plus!

Big thanks to our fearless field guide for taking us around Riverfront Park! Despite the on-again, off-again rain showers, Erich kept up our spirits as well as he did our enthusiasm for local history. I’ve lived in Spokane most of my life, and he took us to places I’ve never even seen before…and I’ve spent more time in Riverfront Park than I can remember! His depth of knowledge and ability to weave historical facts into a compelling and interesting story makes him one of the best tour guides in town. We’ll definitely be back for another tour soon!

I would highly recommend this tour to friends and family. Our guide had an excellent, positive and upbeat manner, and his attention to details about the river, the falls, waterpower, the railroad and the native story in the region was exceptional.
