Cheney-Spokane Chapter Escure Ranch Hike @ Escure Ranch

Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail

  • Mar 4, 2023 at 10:00 AM
  • Free

Come join us for a moderate 6-mile hike to explore the Ice Age floods features in the Escure Ranch area south of Sprague, WA. We will plan to meet up at 10 AM at the trailhead (you may carpool or come individually). The round trip hike follows a gravel road along the Rock Creek drainage and climbs about 100 feet over a small divide and back down to Towell Falls (pictured). The hike will be led by IAFI board members, geologists Donald Chadbourne and Sarah Doyle. Dress appropriately for the weather and bring good walking / hiking shoes, and plan to bring your own lunch and drinking water.
