HISTORY ON INLANDNWROUTES.COM
As David and I were building and writing our website, I came across historical articles about the various areas and recreation locations. I have those histories in one of two places for you to familiarize yourself with the area you are recreating in. WHERE TO FIND HISTORY ARCTICLES TRIP WRITE UPS Some history I have placed at the bottom of the write ups. See the below url. https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/upper-and-lower-stevens-lake.html Scroll down to learn interesting facts about the areas we play in. DOUBLE CLICK SUBTITLES On most subtitles I have included a comprehensive history. All you have to do, is double click them in the search engine, and read about facts and interesting articles. https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/montana2.html Did you know, that in two counties in Montana, the population is an astounding .03 persons per square mile? New York City has 26,402 people per square mile, for instance. Yes, history can be boring. But when you learn about the Great Avalanche of 1903 at the Stevens Lakes Trailhead, history came alive. For those of you who have hiked to Stevens Lakes, have you wondered what the 8” pipe that crosses the trail several times is all about. I am working on an article that should be posted by May, that will tell you the story of the pipe. I am also, going to make a note on the individual write ups that will alert readers that a history is available. Thank You all for reading our website. Chic David InlandNWRoutes.com

THANK YOU, for using InlandNWRoutes.com Chic Burge David Crafton InlandNWRoutes.com EL NIÑO AND WINTER SPORTS As you all know, we are always at the mercy of the weather. Whether we have La Niño or El Niño, we just have to deal with what we are dealt. This chart shows the years and intensity of both. On average, we have about the same number of La Niños as we do El Niño.
But what you want to look at is the degree of intensity in both. Now with climate change, are we going to have more El Niño weather patterns? Of course we can’t predict the weather that far out, but we can learn to deal with weather, by adapting to the conditions, and doing the sports we love, in those conditions, if it’s safe. If you are as down as I am, about not being able to ski the fluff, go for a walk. Log onto NOAA.gov, and examine the illustrations and words to get an idea of where you might want to go. After you’ve looked and read the above, scroll down and click on the Hourly Weather Graph. Study this chart to get accurate times and amounts of precipitation, sky cover, wind speeds & direction, and temperatures thruout the day. After getting use to seeing this information, you can plan your day, down to the hour. We have a whole section on weather, that will show you what to expect in detail. https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/weather-thunderstorms-and-lightning.html Some places to hike, because...

Northrup Canyon & Steamboat Rock https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/northrup-canyon.html https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/steamboat-rock.html Escure Ranch, Rock Creek & Towell Falls https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/escure-ranch.html Navigation Trail, Lower to Upper Priest Lakes https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/navigation-trail-291.html Revett Lake and/or Blossom Lakes https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/revett-lake.html https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/blossom-lake.html Any of the following Spokane County Conservation Properties https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/spokane-county-conservation-futures.html Ross Creek Cedars https://www.inlandnwroutes.com/ross-creek-cedars1.html Don’t be down.
