One of the best tips friends who live in Coeur d'Alene (CDA) gave us during a recent visit was to…read morebe sure to spend some time on the Centennial Trail. (Also called the North Idaho Centennial Trail.) This was remarkably uncrowded - a few pedestrians, including folks using wheelchairs thanks to the fact this trail is paved and level, and a handfull of cyclists - on the beautiful summer morning we used it. In spite of the fact that summer is peak tourist season for CDA and the the "joint was jumping". Wonderful views, peaceful setting and a chance to really enjoy the serenity of the lake The following is from the friends of Centennial Trail website. We highly recommend this trail if you're visiting CDA. " The 24 mile long North Idaho Centennial Trail is a non-motorized paved trail that extends from Higgens Point on beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene to the Idaho/Washington border, where it continues another 37 miles into Washington following the Spokane River. Along the trail are numerous rest areas, scenic overlooks and interpretive signs." More info at: http://friendsofcdatrails.org/Centennial/index.html http://www.northidahocentennialtrail.org/

I have renamed this favorite spot of mine Paranoia Falls. Lean closer and let me tell you the…read morestory of the time me and my sister decided to explore here... Upon researching a map of the area around Kingston Idaho I came upon some interesting waterfalls and decided to further investigate using Google. The photographs although very few were very pleasing and my interest was piqued when someone commented that there was a case behind one of the waterfalls thus the trip was born. I called up my sister and told Maggie that we were going to go on a trip to see some waterfalls so we packed our cameras and set up for this wonderful adventure. After a 50 minute drive down Route 90 we came upon Forest Road nine and proceeded to take that approximately 25 miles until we sold yet another tiny sign which we almost passed that said Shadow Falls. We proceeded up this treacherous array of mountain switchbacks so tiny that at times the tires touched the side of the cliff which was not protected by a guard rail. Clutching the dashboard with eyes wide with terror I watched her every move as we slowly climbed the steep grade and were greeted with logs across a river water was running across the logs so she had to go on it to get across and then the went skiing for about 10 feet and we landed on the other side of this treacherous muddy pass. Several heart pounding moments later we arrived at a vacant car pull off and it was beginning to get dark. A large mousse with a massive horns walked right by us and disappeared into the forest. We proceeded to walk up a path which was promised only 200 yards away and was greeted with waterfall number one the name was fern falls. We enjoyed this first waterfall thoroughly. There is a small foot bridge over it and I got to take many fabulous photographs. Then we proceeded to shadow falls which was promised to be nearby however we got maybe about 50 steps into the darkening forest and were stopped in our tracks by a low rumbling growl which seemed to be coming from all directions. Now here we were alone in the forest. The sounds of much larger mammals was present as we heard the ever growing presence of crackling underbrush and snapping forest floor twigs. It was then that we had a come to Jesus meeting about if we should continue up the hill and yes we did continue and were within eyeshot of shadow falls when all of a sudden a distinct growl not far from us came thundering from the trees and we were instantly paranoid. With no other human being inside and the sun setting unusually fast we tore off running down the hill after a failed test of the bear spray which I had a death grip on. My 250 pounds sister was so scared she blew right by me and like an Olympic runner left me in the dust the only thing I remember at that point was seeing her britches falling off of her and if you have ever dropped a pan of fresh baked bread and dropped it on the floor you will understand what I was now looking at!!!! With my heart pounding at least 180 bpm I caught up with her near the small dark parking spot and I recall slamming open the doors throwing in everything and the next thing I knew the jeep was in reverse. We were gone. Recommendation - do not go alone. Do not go in a small car with low clearance. Go early the sun sets very fast way up in that mountain. Take bear spray and possibly a baseball bat.

From the initial phone call to the last minutes of our trip, we had a 5 star experience. Our guides Tom, Liz, Mike, and Jake were amazing. My children loved Liz and she was exceptional with all the kids on the trip. All of our guides were 100% friendly, helpful, experienced, and stressed safety throughout the trip. The lodges we stayed in were historic, beautiful, and comfortable. Its not Four seasons but its fantastic compared to tent camping. The food was delicious and much better than I was expecting. We had some dietary restriction, and the team was very helpful and accommodating. Our entire family loved the entire trip, even my wife who is not the outdoorsy type. I would not hesitate to book another trip in the future with ROW. Thank you again to Tom, Liz, Mike, and Jake for making this an incredible family adventure.

Awesome Pontoon Lake Tripping, But Don't Forget The Sunscreen!…read more SITREP Harrison Pontoons is a great outfit in Harrison right on the major waterways of Coeur d'Alene Lake. The family got a pontoon for a four (4) hour block from 2pm to- 6pm for $300 (I should note that we actually had it for 5 hours, but they were courteous to people getting lost along the shoreline!) ;^D SETUP The boats - as far as boats are concerned - are very well-made, easy to drive, turn on a dime, have a very high clearance as they set up on the water that makes it easier for them to navigate through more shallow water. They are also incredibly fast and approach speeds easily of 40 knots per hour (KPH), roughly 43 miles per hour (MPH). Since we had my two (2) year old nephew Zygfryd (aka "Wiggly Ziggy") with us, there were items (ie. hats, bags of chips, wake boards, etc.) from inside the boat that "accidentally" found themselves in the water. The Pontoon easily spun around and allowed us to gather up the misplaced items. The pontoon also featured very convenient overhead covers to protect us from the sun. Still, I would highly recommend - as a sunburn survivor from a prior trip - to BRING YOUR SUNSCREEN! You will need it, believe me! THE LOWDOWN Pontooning on Coeur d'Alene is never more fun than with the right boat!

Bicycle Path Spanning A Historic Natural Trail Across Panhandle Of Idaho…read more SITREP It is important to note that this region of Idaho's history first began with the Coeur d'Alene Tribe - a fact further bolstered and made preeminent with Coeur d'Alene Lake. And it continues to be the ongoing vision of this inspired Indian Tribe, and their hard work, that sparked one of the nation's most popular biking trails. THE SETUP "The Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes" is a 72-mile paved biking trail that runs this span of Idaho panhandle between Mullan and Plummer. This unique partnership was fostered between the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, Union Pacific Railroad, the U. S. Government, and the State of Idaho, and each continue as partners in the governance & maintenance of the trail, with the Coeur d'Alene Tribe doing most of the "heavy lifting" in coordinating major improvement aspects. TRAIL EXTENT This trail is quite extensive in that it begins in Silver Valley, and then continues along the Coeur d'Alene River, past scenic Lake Coeur d'Alene, and then ambles through the agricultural tracts to Plummer. TRAILHEAD ENTRANCES At last count, there were 20 trailheads that provide the main entry points into the trail - though there are many adjunct entry positions that are not maintained by the trail-service - and there are 17 scenic waysides along the route for picnicking, biking, bird-watching, and just plain ole sight-seeing some beautiful countryside. THE LOWDOWN The Trail Of The Coeur d'Alenes is beautiful hiking / bicycling stop in the Panhandle of Idaho!
