Manito with Karin

Manito Park

During Karin's visit to Spokane, we went to Manito Park.  This park is huge, with multiple gardens.  A must see when visiting Spokane.  Formal gardens, Lilac, Japanese, Perennial, Greenhouse, Rose, Iris, all individual gardens.  And I think I'm forgetting some!  Also a large pond, fountain, playgrounds, kids water-pad, rolling hills, stone bridges, scenic drive, tennis courts, many picnic areas, bike / walking trails.  And grand old houses bordering the park.  Do I love it?  Oh-- Yes I do!!!
