Minnehaha climbing area is officially the John Shields Park, but known to the locals as Minnehaha. Located in inside the city limits of Spokane. WA and along the Spokane River makes for easy access but a nice environment.
The Park has numerous hiking trails, which wind there way through the park and along the cliffs. Access is easy from the parking lot and there are restrooms.
This is a top rope climbing area and there are trails that lead to the top for easy access in setting up ropes. Most routes are single pitch routes with fixed bolts for anchors and range from 5.0 to 5.13 based on the Yosemite Decimal System.
There are 80ft walls, overhangs, cracks and numerous bouldering spots. The main wall for most climbers is located just out of the parking lot. The wall does have some graffiti, but in the past few years the Parks Dept. and local climbers have really began to clean up the area.
