SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Chapter Hike - Fishtrap Lake Scablands
DESCRIPTION:The Cheney-Spokane Chapter of the IAFI is scheduling a hike at the north loop trailhead of Fishtrap Lake on Saturday\, April 5th. The hike will start at 10:00 a.m. It will be led by Don Chadbourne\, geologist and board member of the Cheney-Spokane Chapter. You will meet the leader at the trailhead. \nFishtrap Lake\, Washington (BLM Photo)\nDescription of Hike\nThe hike will begin and end at the north trailhead at Fishtrap Lake. The hike will follow the north loop trail\, with a total length of about 5 miles.  The trail is mostly single track over dirt and rock\, with an elevation gain and loss of about 500 feet.  The hike will provide an intimate view of the channeled scablands that were carved out by the ice age floods.  Features will include pothole lakes\, rock benches\, Mima mounds\, and streamlined and scarped Palouse hills.  The hike will also provide wide open views of Fishtrap Lake and the surrounding country.  This hike is included in On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods – Northern Reaches\, by Bjornstad & Kiver.  However\, we will be following trails that were constructed after the book was published. \nDirections to the trailhead\nFrom I-90 take Exit 254 and proceed south 2.4 miles on the Sprague Highway. Turn left (east) on Fishtrap Road and proceed 0.6 miles to the trailhead parking on the right. \nRegister for the hike using the buttons below. This event will be limited to 20 hikers. \nItems to bring with you: appropriate shoes\, day pack\, water\, snacks\, appropriate clothing for changes in the weather\, sun protection\, emergency items\, camera and binoculars. Walking poles will be helpful. \nThe hike is free; however\, donations for support of Chapter activities will be accepted. \nFor addition questions contact Don at 509-891-5875.
