This loop route begins and ends near the campground at Bowl and Pitcher and includes a trip across the footbridge over the Spokane River both going and returning.
Once across the bridge on the way out, turn right and head downstream on trail 25 for a short distance, watching for trail 210 on the left after approximately 1/8-mile. Trail 210 climbs for a short distance before crossing Centennial Trail at a small plateau, then continues to climb to a bluff overlooking the Spokane River through an old burn.
Go to the end of the bluff and down the short hill, then join Centennial Trail and follow it for a short jaunt to the left before veering right again to continue on single-track towards the river.
Along river's edge, rejoin trail 25 and turn right, following it upstream to return to Bowl and Pitcher. If the snow isn't too deep, this is a good trek to try with micro-spikes instead.
