Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes

Fantastic Trail!

May, 2023 by tessagillespie

My husband and I went on a biking vacation and rode most of this trail. Absolutely fantastic! Frequent restrooms along the route was a pleasant surprise. The views were amazing and the trail was clean of trash and homeless camps. Loved every minute of it. Stayed in an airBnb right on the trail which was so convenient. A+ rating for the trail. Fully paved and an easy ride.

Great American Rail-Trail

Great Allegheny Trail southeast of Pittsburgh?

April, 2023 by eshawger

Surprised to see this amazing trail that has great bed and breakfasts along it is not noted as part of the Great American Rail Trail. It sure would help demonstrate more GART completion if it was.

Route of the Hiawatha

Route of the Hiawatha is the BEST

April, 2023 by rhondahondo

We rented bikes to ride(lrented ugh Less than ideal) but also got a permit for the ride and we paid for the shuttle. Best bike experience ever. Although the staf was friendly , things were not Ideal the bikes were in poor condition . we ended up driving our own truck with their rented bike to the trailhead. Right away you need a head lamp and flashlight to enter the first longest dark tunnel...which was amazing. Then we passed over the absolute highest tresseel bridges I ever been on which was spectacular. the weather was perfect. I would love to go again. I would prefer to bring my own bike---knowing my bike breaks and seat was comfortable for me..This ride we took our time and made numerous stops to drink and take pics so it was all day for us.

Boise River Greenbelt

Great Ride (Just Watch Walkers!)

March, 2023 by kmmcmillen

I am from Tucson looking for paved non-street rides. Greenbelt is fabulous, but: 1) The route west really ends at Eagle road regardless of what some maps indicate; 2) Ambiguous signage can confuse out-of-towners (like me!).

Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes

best 3 day bike ride

January, 2023 by ihler.hydroseed

Wife and I went on our first exclusive trip just to complete the entire trail both ways. We completed over three days and enjoyed every minute of it. Scenery is beautiful. Loved riding easy grade paved trail along rivers, lake, and hills. Would highly recommend this ride.

Route of the Hiawatha

Beautiful Place, Horribly Mismanaged

November, 2022 by jedenner1960

With what they charge to ride this loose gravel trail, and the huge number of novice cyclists, families with infants in bike trailers and couch potatoes who need an electric bike with huge tires and an extra-wide seat to ride downhill, this thing should be paved. It's more of an amusement park attraction than a bike trail, so give the public what they look for in a Disneyland-like experience! They should re-invest their obvious huge profits in paving and more frequent shuttle services. If it wasn't loose gravel, experienced cyclists would ride it in both directions and not end up at the bottom, in lines 200 yards long, in the midday sun, with no shade, with all the young families with crying children, waiting for the bus that takes them back to the parking at the top. Or at least, stop selling tickets to ride down, when the line at the bottom is out of control. And despite what the promotional material says, do not attempt the descent on a road bike. It is by no means, "packed gravel." It is very loose and very dangerous on tall, skinny, high PSI tires. What could have been a glorious experience in breathtaking surroundings was ruined by the mess this "organization" has created.

Route of the Hiawatha

Fabulous Trail

November, 2022 by vvvqsxnj7r

I have done this trail so many times through the years. Loved the tunnels and the trestles! The views are spectacular! Yes the trail is gravel. No problems with it. I saw some negative comments. I don’t understand it. Go back to the city then.

NorPac Trail

Borax Tunnel detour

October, 2022 by topshelf

On Google Maps aerial photo, it appears there is a trail leading from a point on the NorPac Trail about 1/4 mile west of the west portal of Borax Tunnel, west and down to reconnect with NorPac trail on the other side of the tunnel at the lower elevation nearer I-90. Does anyone know if this a usable detour around the tunnel?

Route of the Hiawatha

the Hiawatha

Weiser River National Recreation Trail

A true rail trail

August, 2022 by annmom1

We rode from north trail head to Cambridge - 44 miles. This is a true rail trail - an old railroad bed in some places dirt, some gravelish, some bumpy, some deeper gravel. North to south is downhill, but you pedal the entire way. We loved the trail, but were definitely beat at the end. Do not underestimate the effort per mile. Scenery is terrific - woods at the beginning, scenic prairie and canyons toward the end. Take lots of water and spare tubes. You pass several towns, but alot is remote without cell service, and services are slim. We used Weiser Shuttle Service - highly recommend.

Ed Corkill Memorial River Trail

Short but fun

August, 2022 by annmom1

Trail runs along the river from Julietta to Kendrick. Paved and flat. Runs by the wheat processing facility which was interesting as well. We did it twice for fun.

Snake River Canyon Rim Trail

Beautiful!

August, 2022 by loraleecampbell

Nice Ride with beautiful lookouts! Crowded at times around lookouts and the bridge.
