How many times have we crossed the Spokane River and not really look at the beauty of the falls of the river? How many times have we crossed the Monroe Street Bridge and not take in its wonderful beauty? How many times have we seen the gondola's cross the park, saying we would like to ride on it, "someday"? Well, that someday occurred and we took in the beauty of the Spokane River near Riverfront Park on Sunday, April, 26, 2009-the day that was celebrated as Earth Day at Riverfront Park.
View of Post Street Bridge from a landing off of the river
Close up of Post Street Bridge
River splashing against the rock walls
Watching the mist rise into the cliffs and trees
Turbulent waters
Would be SO fun and EXCITING to raft down these falls!
Mike changed the setting on the camera to see the "flow" instead of the "splash"
Monroe Street Bridge-Isn't it pretty? Pretty Amazing that is~
Maple Street Bridge from afar.
A view from the Gondola-kids were doing street writing with chalk on Earth Day-The gondola's had dark tinted windows, so the picture is not as clear
Looking across the river, towards the north side
Close up of the cow skull on the Monroe Street Bridge. They have this on both sides of the pillar, facing the river and the street.
Monroe Street Bridge with Spokane River, can you see the cables for the Gondola's?
Love the sky in the background.
Different view of Monroe Street Bridge
At first when we were on the Gondola's I thought I would get claustrophobic and motion sick, but I did great! 
The gates of the river open-makes you wonder how many gallons of water come rushing through here per minute 
Looking up Monroe Street Bridge
Striking a pose
I was gazing into the water and relaxing when Mike took this shot.
