Step into the wonder of the universe with us at the next Cosmic Walk. It’s a reflective journey that brings together nature, mindfulness, music, and community. Hosted by New Story Spokane in partnership with the Inland Northwest Land Conservancy, this evening gathering at Glen Tana invites you to slow down, reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world, and reflect on your place in the story of creation. As the sun sets, we will walk together through 13.8 billion years of Earth’s history, accompanied by music and meditation under the stars. Whether you come for the picnic, the walk, or simply to feel a sense of belonging, the Cosmic Walk offers a chance to experience harmony, awe, and connection—with the land, with each other, and the universe.

“I still hanker for the original world, the one that makes us, rather than the one we make. I hunger for the shaping power that curves a comets path, that fills the owls throat with song, that fashions a flake of snow and carpets the hills with green. It is a prodigal, awesome, magnificent power ever casting new forms into existence, then tearing them apart and starting over.”
— Scott Russell Sanders, describing response to a mystical experience of the night sky

Experience fall migration at its finest on a 2.5-mile, 2-hour guided birding hike through the diverse and scenic landscapes of Glen Tana. From the serene Little Spokane River to rugged canyons and majestic ponderosa pine forests, this hike offers a rich mix of habitats perfect for spotting both resident and migratory birds.

The trail includes a steady climb that rewards hikers with sweeping views of the River Valley and surrounding terrain—an ideal setting for both birding and photography.

With birding experts from the Spokane Audubon Society joining the hike, participants will benefit from their knowledge and keen eyes in the field. Plan for 3 to 3.5 hours total to allow plenty of time for observation and discovery along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just getting started, this is a great opportunity to connect with nature and spot some feathered visitors.

What to Bring:

• Sturdy footwear

• Water

• Sunscreen

• Binoculars or birding gear

We look forward to seeing you on the trail!
