Spanning nearly the entire width of the Idaho Panhandle, the
magnificent Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes is an iconic paved path that
offers endless adventure. As the longest bike trail in Idaho, there’s
something for every type of adventurer on this epic trail. From small
mountain towns to vast views and beautiful lakes, a beautiful journey
waits for you on this trail every single time.
Boasting year-round recreation
in North Idaho, there's always an adventure to be had on the Trail of
the Coeur d'Alenes. As the longest bike trail in the state, it's
definitely worth taking the time to explore.
The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes
stretches for 73-miles between the towns of Mullan and Plummer. It
follows the historic Union Pacific Railroad and boasts many entry points
and trailheads across its entirety.
What's so amazing about this
spectacular bike trail is the wide range of scenery you'll experience on
the trail. From the high mountain views to the shores of Lake Coeur
d'Alene, the path takes you right to some of Idaho's greatest
landscapes.
On the side closest to Mullan,
cyclists and pedestrians will experience the splendor of Idaho's
historic Silver Valley. Surrounded by the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, the
abundant natural beauty of this historic mining region will leave you
floored.
From the Silver Valley,
trail-goers will meander along the Coeur d'Alene River, past the shores
of Lake Coeur d'Alene, and right over the Chatcolet Bridge to Heyburn
State Park. You'll even get the opportunity to actually rider over the lake.
The final stretch of the trail
is noted for its wide-open, rolling farmlands. Closely following Plummer
Creek before terminating just north of the town of Plummer, the scenery
makes for a serene ending to this epic trail.
Currently, there are 20
developed trailheads that provide entry points to this incredible bike
trail. Learn more about the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes and the scenery
you'll witness along the way at the Parks and Recreation website here.

This may come as a surprise, but there aren't too many mainstream songs out there written about our beautiful state. Apparently, everyone's exes live in Texas or something like that... Not that we mind! The fewer people who know about our slice of paradise, the better, right? Regardless, when a good song about Idaho comes on the radio or personal playlist, we can't help but wax a little nostalgic. Today, we've been able to dig up 15 tunes that capture the spirit of Idaho in their own unique way. Have a listen! 1. "Idaho" - Reckless Kelly (2013) "Because he's an Idaho cowboy/no Tennessee plow-boy / He's wild as the Rockies he rides." This popular alternative country group made every heart melt with this song. It sure does capture the spirit of the mountain-loving Idahoan, doesn't it? 2. "Idaho" - Feeder (2012) "I may find a better view, find a better... view / Idaho." Feeder is a British (Welsh) rock band that has bee...
Casa Loma (Spanish for "Hill House") is a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a historic house museum and landmark. It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox, who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 meters (460 ft) above sea level, 66 meters (217 ft) above Lake Ontario.
