If you're flying in, arrive at the Spokane International Airport (GEG), and then it's an hour-and-a-half drive north to Colville. Those driving down from Canada can head south through Laurier or Frontier, and it's roughly an hour drive either way. Whichever way you arrive, the drive will grant scenic views of Washington's lush forests and verdant mountains. An hour's drive will take you to its peak, where you can take in vast views of the city, as well as the surrounding mountains and valleys that fade into the horizon. To the west is Monumental Mountain, and it only takes about 40 minutes to not only enjoy pristine mountain views, but also watch the massive, flowing Columbia River just west of the peak.
