Starting Out
East Start Of The Trail Of The Coeur d’Alenes
He was also shuttling two ladies to the Route of the Hiawatha bike path, which is a very scenic 15 mile path.
The ride down to my hotel in Kellogg was marvelous, with a gentle downhill grade. I got into Kellogg about 2:30. Luckily the day was cooler than had been predicted.
The trail follows the south fork of the Coeur d’Alene River, and because it is built on the old Northern Pacific RR line, I’ll be going across some old NP bridges along the way.

I stopped in Wallace, a really neat old mining town, where an NP train station has been restored. I got a swell tour from a docent there who knows a lot about the history of the area, and of the railroads. There was a lot of mining, especially silver.

When I got to Kellogg, I took a ride on the ski resort gondola, up to the top of Kellog Peak.

Yes, I was able to book only one B&B on this trip. Another I tried that would’ve been nice was already booked. 🙁
