We went hiking someplace new this weekend!  Quartz Mountain is in the Mount Spokane State Park and is across a valley from Mount Spokane. The mountain is named because there is quartz everywhere!  

Here is the view from the top of the mountain!  You can see Lake Coeur d’Alene! 

Also at the top is a fire lookout station. We heard that it is rented out to people to stay and spend the night and someone was staying there so we did not look any closer.

On one of the trails we passed some people riding horses!

There were huckleberries all over the mountain rowrrrrw Tigers love huckleberries!  When we have lunch mom likes to save part of the sandwish for emergencies and I said this is an emergency!  We put some of the huckleberries into what was left of the peanut butter sandwish and it when you bite down and squishes the berries it was awesome delicious!!!

Then after the hike we went to Greenbluff where there are all kinds of farms selling fruit!  We went to some cherry orchards!  Rowrrrr! Tigers love cherries!

Look at the Rainier cherries hanging in huge clusters!  We did not even need a ladder to pick them!  Later we gave some cherries to our neighbors.  It was a super day!!!
