Features Views

There is a relatively clean Porta Potty at the trailhead, and parking for about 12-15 cars. Access from the trailhead to The Cliffs trail is via the Glenrose trail, which itself includes a short climb and excellent vistas to the west.

I'd rename this "Siren's Call" because it's very easy to get lured down this long descent, forgetting that the trail ends, and you must climb back up...and depending on your fitness level you might wish you could call for an evacuation.

This is an out-and-back trail which dead-ends at the eponymous cliffs overlooking Spokane Valley's Dishman-Mica area. Most of the trail is rutted doubletrack, but there are narrow singletrack sections, particularly on the far (eastern) end of the trail.

The terrain isn't technically challenging, though its steep grade is unrelenting on the long climb back up. There are no man-made features. A few very brief sections include rocky terrain, which is easily walkable for those who are not comfortable riding it.
