These days, it’s all about having an aesthetically pleasing Instagram feed. Thankfully, Spokane is full of beautiful places that can fill your Instagram needs.
#1: The Bowl and Pitcher
The Bowl and Pitcher is an area inside Spokane’s Riverside State Park that features swinging bridges, views of the Spokane river and picturesque basalt rock formations.
“This is just one of those places,” said Marrion Garcia, a tourist of Spokane. “I can’t even grasp how stunning it is.”
Not to mention, the miles and miles of hiking trails inside of the park. The paths are perfect for anyone looking to get in their exercise while snapping a few photos along the way.
#2: Riverfront Park
A place that every Spokane resident knows well, and that shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes to photo opportunities.
The park, just newly renovated, offers many different locations for photography, rain or shine.
“Whenever I get stuck on where to go, I go to Riverfront,” said Racheal Smith, a local photographer. “It brings out the beauty in things that are simple.”
Riverfront offers views of the river, bridges, foliage, and even industrial settings for photos. It’s truly the most versatile photography spot in Spokane.
#3 The art wall on SFCC campus
SFCC is home to an interesting, highly photographed spot in Spokane.
Just north of the Fine Arts building on campus is a small brick wall that has been papier mache-d with various pieces of art. The wall makes for an excellent backdrop for portraits or selfies.
#4: Local coffee shops
Coffee shops are a must for fall and winter Instagram feeds.
Most coffee shops in Spokane have incredible interior decor that can serve as backdrops for portraits. Neon signs, interesting wall art and delicious drinks are perfect subjects for photography when the weather gets colder.
Arctos Coffee on Hamilton showcases a cozy interior, perfect for warm winter photoshoots while sipping a cup of tea or coffee.
Atticus Coffee in downtown Spokane is a short walk from Riverfront Park and is one of the most popular places for coffee shop photos in the city.
“Some of my favorite places to take photos are coffee shops,” said Abbey Titmas, a patron of Atticus Coffee. “I find the atmosphere so calming and creatively energized.”
“The photos always turn out cozy and friendly.”
#5: Cliff Drive
Cliff Drive is an infamous photo spot in Spokane, and many high school seniors flock here to get a backdrop of their hometown in their senior portraits.
Along with being a popular photo spot, it’s also one of the best places to view the sunset in Spokane. Nobody can resist a good sunset picture.
Overlooking the entire city, Cliff Drive is quite busy during the summer, but is also gorgeous in the fall. The foliage turning colors serves as a great backdrop.
Spokane is full of aesthetic opportunities. All it takes is the click of a button in order to take a picture worth a thousand words!
