Wiildrose Takes a Hike ~ Antoine Peak Traditional Cache

ANTOINE PEAK CONSERVATION AREA

Welcome to Antoine Peak! This area has miles & miles of scenic trails to explore! Come check it out. There are LOTS of geocaches to find! There are no motorized vehicles allowed, but you will see hikers, bikers, horseback riders, and in the winter time, snowshoers. Have fun!

Antoine Peak consists of 1,296 acres of mountainous terrain on the northern edge of Spokane Valley. This conservation area was acquired in four phases between 2007 and 2019, with 50% of phases 1-3 of the acquisition being funded through Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grants.

With 360-degree views from its 3,373-foot summit, Antoine Peak Conservation Area provides unique recreational opportunities, protects critical habitat for the region’s large mammals, and preserves a critical wildlife corridor that connects the Spokane River Valley with Mount Spokane State Park.

INFO:
WEST TRAILHEAD
There is a large parking lot with a large ADA porta potty on the west side trailhead at 15501 E Brevier Road. It has 11 paved passenger vehicle parking stalls, and room for four trucks with trailers. It has more car parking on the gravel, also. There is NON-POTABLE water here. This parking lot has a security camera. I would still be careful about leaving valuables in your car.
EAST TRAILHEAD
The East Trailhead provides limited parking on the east side of Antoine Peak at 19516 E Lincoln Rd and includes some room for passenger vehicles and several horse trailers. Not sure about toilets. Will check on this lot soon and update the page.
