Confirmed from Rimrock View Trail & Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Trails and cliffside lookout points at a park with views around Spokane for hiking and biking.
What runners say about Rimrock View Trail & Park
“What a nice place to enjoy the nature and gorgeous city views.”
“Bring a blanket and go off path to find a nice quiet spot”
Super easy to get to, with a basically flat walk on a dirt road to some of the nest vistas of Spokane around. Strollers and little kids can easily handle this trek, just keep them away from the steep cliffs!
A wonderful view and trail. A lovely place to wander and very romantic. There's also a bunch of trails on the inside, away from the outer rim which you can Adventure down.
What a nice place to enjoy the nature and gorgeous city views. Best spot for sunrise and excellent for walks during sunset too. Grab a bug spray for the evening time. There is a wide gravel/dirt road that is pretty straightforward so it’s really easy to walk/hike for anyone. Even strollers or horses would be fine.
Nice little walk with picnic tables here an there. Just a couple. Bring a blanket and go off path to find a nice quiet spot

“Strollers and little kids can easily handle this trek, just keep them away from the steep cliffs!”
“We found parking easily enough on a weekday in October, but the lot looks small enough that I would be worried about it on the weekends.”
“Flat, good for family/kids (but sharp drop off of ledge if not careful - still some distance from main trail).”

- ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
- At the trailheadparking — reported by runners
- DogsWelcome, per reviewers. Leash rules vary by park — the trailhead sign is the authority.
