Nine Mile Falls churns on the Spokane River northwest of downtown, easy to reach and open to dogs. Hawk Creek Falls near Lake Roosevelt asks about two tenths of a mile of walking. Rock Creek Falls takes the most effort of the group, 2.5 miles out and back with 500 feet of climb. Albeni Falls over in Idaho can be seen without leaving the car. Seven falls make the list around Spokane, a couple carrying old Salish names, and spring runoff is the season that flatters all of them.
