Spokane anchors eastern Washington's riding on the drier side of the state. Beacon Hill and Camp Sekani right above town, plus Riverside State Park, ride on quick-draining basalt and pine-forest soils. The continental climate gives hot, dry summers and a long shoulder season, with far less mud than the wet west side.
