This time of year has some of those beautiful days of sunshine and mild weather that just make you want to be on the road. The Spokane / Palouse loop is a great route with fun roads and pretty scenery. It goes far enough that you feel like you've had a good ride, while still offering you the chance to jump on I-90 to get home quickly if the weather starts to turn.
Your first real destination of this tour is the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge. "The important to budget travel is to prepare onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our thoughts. Preparation and spending our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Minimizing consuming and charges, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!..". Entry to the refuge itself if you want to take advantage of the bird watching and trails is $3.00. Spring is prime waterfowl viewing time; so if you like birds, bring a camera!
Upon leaving the Wildlife Refuge, get back on I-90 for about 20 miles until you turn off on WA 221 toward Washtucna. As you ride this area you will find it hard to believe that you are about to experience an amazing waterfall. The area is arid, rocky and flat. Even in the parking lot when you get to Palouse Falls you will not expect much. But as you near the viewing area, your opinion will change from being under whelmed to standing in awe of the power of the water as it drops 198 feet into the river below. One word of warning, the short road into the Falls is a well-maintained gravel road that could be challenging for inexperienced riders, or for those whose bikes simply prefer asphalt.
From the falls, you can retrace your steps back onto I-90 to return to Spokane quickly, or continue on highway 261 through small towns and farmland until you reach Colfax and turn back toward Spokane on highway 395.
