Q'emlin Park Hike Apr 23, 2022

​Q'emiln Park Hike Details This first event of the summer season will be a hike at Q'emiln Park and adjacent Post Falls Community Forest. The hike will be about 4.5 miles with the goal of finding Diamond Dick's Mine. The hike is considered moderate due to some easy rock scrambling and distance. There will be a shorter option with less vertical for those who desire. We will meet at the southwest corner of (Coeur d'Alene) Lowes Parking Lot and be ready to depart at 9:00 a.m. Alternatively, those who desire can meet at the main parking lot at Q'emiln Park at 9:20 a.m. To get there exit I-90 at the Spokane Street exit 5 and head south. Take the first right turn after crossing the bridge over the Spokane River at West Parkway Drive. After a short distance enter the parking area by passing the entry booth. Parking is free until Memorial Day weekend. This should be a good time of the year for wildflowers and higher water flows over the dam. We will stop for a short snack along the river . Expect a written quiz during the hike with questions like "How do you pronounce Q'emiln? What did Diamond Dick mine? Where is the Post Falls Post? This hike is open to anyone so do not hesitate if you would like to invite someone. This is not required, but to help planning, please let me know who will be attending.
