Trail socks, camp mugs, and last‑minute layers before GEG security
Mountain Gear sits landside near the main ticketing area at Spokane International, useful if you realize you forgot gloves or a Nalgene before heading into A, B, or C. The shop leans outdoorsy: think hiking socks, beanies, softshells, and logo tees alongside basic travel stuff like neck pillows and phone chargers. Prices run higher than downtown Spokane outfitters, but not wildly out of line for an airport; expect $18–25 for water bottles and $30–70 for lightweight tops.
Hours track with the early GEG bank: doors usually open around 4:30–5:00 a.m. to catch the first Alaska and Delta departures, then stay open into the evening until the last wave of flights around 9:00–10:00 p.m. That means you can grab a thermal layer before a 6:00 a.m. departure from Concourse C or replace a lost cap before a late Alaska arrival into B. If you’re tight on time, hit this before security instead of hunting smaller newsstands near the gates.
Stock skews Pacific Northwest: lots of mountain graphics, Spokane and “PNW” branding, and gear aimed at weekend hikers headed for Mount Spokane or Coeur d’Alene, rather than hardcore expedition kits. You’ll find compact blankets, enamel camp mugs under $20, and simple daypacks rather than full backpacking rigs. Skip anything you’re picky about for fit, like boots or technical shells; selection is limited and returns later are a hassle.
Tip: shop here right after check‑in, then head through security for A, B, or C so you’re not juggling new bags in the screening line at GEG’s single main checkpoint.
