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.

Remember when you were a kid and you were told that it wasn’t nice to stereotype people? So why would you stereotype a state? There are more than a few outrageous rumors floating around about Idaho and the people who live here. We collected nine of the most famous ones so that they can finally be put to rest. These stereotypes are just that—stereotypes. By no means do they reflect our entire state, so maybe think twice when you catch yourself giving into one! 1. All Idahoans are either potato farmers... Indeed, potatoes are one of our state's most important crops when it comes to the agricultural industry. In fact, more than 320,000 acres of land are used to grow potatoes every year. But no, we don't ALL work on potato farms. That would just be ridiculous. 2. ...or rednecks. Sure, Idaho is a red state but that doesn't make everyone who lives here a redneck. You MIGHT come across some Bud Light lovin...
With nearly 130 soakable hot springs (the most soakable hot springs of any state in the country), there are dozens of destinations to visit. However, places like Lava Hot Springs , Goldbug Hot Springs , and Kirkham Hot Springs can draw in quite a crowd. That’s why I love Skillern Hot Springs. This is a lesser-known, almost top-secret spring that is worth visiting. However, you’ll want to put on your hiking shoes because it’s not an easy journey to get here. Skillern Hot Springs is tucked away in the Sawtooth National Forest. Some of the towns closest to this unique destination include Fairfield to the south and Ketchum to the east. You’ll find the trailhead and parking area for this natural spring at Canyon Transfer Camp. To visit this natural spring, plan a full-day adventure. Grab your hiking boots , swimsuit, and lots of water because you’ll have a six-mile journey ahead of you. The main trail splits into upper and lower trails. During the late...
