DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED DURING WINTER - December 1 through March 31.

During the winter (December 1 through March 31) this trail is part of Mt Spokane State Park's Nordic Skiing Trail System. Use is restricted to nordic/cross country skiing. A Washington state Sno-Park Permit is required for parking. Additionally the Special Groomed Trail Permit is required to park in the Selkirk Lodge parking lot for access to this Nordic Skiing Trail System.

During the spring, summer and fall months (April 1 through November 30) this is a hiking trail. A Washington State Discover Pass is required for parking.

From the Selkirk Lodge parking lot, Valley View is found on the far right side of Selkirk Lodge. Valley View is a wide, fire road style, forest trail that swings around a ridge high point on the left to the east. To the right the hillside drops off and there are nice views through the trees.

Initially the trail is flat. Then at about the 0.3 mile mark, the trail descends to a major trail junction - J1, with three other trails that also come from Selkirk Lodge, and another four trails that continue on to a second major trail junction - J2. Thus, many possibilities for one's next move. Enjoy!

During the winter, as part of the Mount Spokane State Park's Nordic Skiing Trail System, this trail is groomed for classic and skate skiing.

Pretty conifer forest. Deer and moose are in the area.
