    Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes

    August 12 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F

    Diane & Riley led us over to a trailhead for the bike trail called “Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes”. We all unloaded the bikes and took about a 3 hour bike ride for 11.3 miles. The trail is a “Rails to Trails” railroad trail. It is PAVED and has restrooms with bike repair stations along it. It has a total of 73 miles, but we did not have that in us. The trail follows the shoreline of the lake and we crossed the lake on the trestle. The only climb on the trail was on the trestle at the point that boats can cross under. We stopped at the top and took pictures. As we were leaving, I hear a bird calling from the super structure above. It was an Osprey sitting on a nest! The bike ride was great!Read more
