Monroe Street Bridge, Spokane

I was born in Spokane. I visit the bridge weekly at least. The Spokane river falls rush under this bridge from February to October. The Winter is low flow but still Impressive. Spokane was one of the first cities to have electric street lights powered by the hydro electric plant just above the falls. The plant can be seen from Post street near River Front Park.

The Monroe Street Bridge allows one to start on the south side of the Spokane River and walk east on trails that lead to nice views from different spots on the river. You can connect up and walk on other bridges going north and then heading west and walking the Monroe Street Bridge from this side heading south. Nice views on both sides of the bridge. To the west down the falls and to the east up river towards downtown Spokane,
