    Tubbs Hill - Hiking at Tubbs Hill offers views of the downtown harbor and famous landmark, Hotel Coeur d'Alene.

    Tubbs Hill

    (67 reviews)

    For my first visit to the northern peninsula of Idaho, I decided to make a stop in the town of…read moreCoeur d'Alene. Coeur d'Alene has a charming downtown waterfront and it's here where you'll find this Tubbs Hill Trail. I believe hiking along Tubbs Hill represents the city of Coeur d'Alene well. It's an easy 2 mile round trip loop that oversees the harbor from a distance. Basically, it's a perfectly fine nature trail. There are 26 or 27 posted marker signs along the trail to guide you (including a halfway point). It's absolutely impossible to get lost, lol. To be specific on where Tubbs Hill Trail officially begins, you can find the starting point right next to the Rotary Harbor House (which looked like a relaxing spot to grab some fish tacos and catch views from the pier). Since the hike is a loop, if you begin by going off to the right hand side, there are spots along the way to descend down the rockside and go swimming in Lake Coeur d'Alene. I noticed a lot of people were relaxing and lounging out on the rocks while taking refreshing breaks in the water. If this sounds enticing, then remember to bring your bathing suit and a towel, lol. The first part of the hike offers panoramic lookouts of not only the boats docked beside the waterfront, but also the historical landmark - Hotel Coeur d'Alene. Eventually you wrap your way around in a circle getting to enjoy the great outdoors. It's a chance to breathe in fresh air from the lake without having to work hard. There's barely any incline/decline along the 2 mile path. It took me one hour to complete the hike. Lastly, parking can be difficult in downtown Coeur d'Alene. Independence Point is a popular area to park, but they do charge by the hour and every spot was occupied when I arrived in the middle of the day. I resorted to parking on a sidestreet next to the Coeur d'Alene shopping district. Though, cars on side streets are only permitted for 2 hour intervals at a time. Overall, Tubbs Hill Trail was a pleasant hiking activity. Pair it with maybe taking a cruise out on the lake or walking around the Boardwalk Marina (the "world's longest floating boardwalk" if you can believe) and you'll discover the best of what Coeur d'Alene has to offer.

    Beautiful place to hike near the lake with plenty of scenic views and places to rest.read more

    I hiked Stevens Creek Trail on a hot, weekday evening. Who knew that Spokane could get so hot. It…read moreseemed to be in the 90s for multiple weeks in a row. My theory is that the desert plains of central WA allows hot air to flow north unobstructed by mountain ranges. The heat didn't stop me, it only shortened my hikes. Stevens Creek Trail is another collection of trails that would give an experienced hiker new trails for a full day of hiking. I only hiked to the top, for a view of the protected forest and hay farms below, but the trails headed deeper in the forest along the top of a ridge. I never saw any deer or bears on my hikes in these forest ranges, but this hike in particular had many signs posted to watch out for bears. I think the sign would be more relevant for evening or morning hikes. All the bears are lying down in the shade when it's 95 degrees and sunny, waiting for cooler temperatures before they return to foraging. That doesn't mean that there weren't many animals in the forest. It was a turkey bonanza everywhere around Spokane. There were more turkeys than I'd ever seen in my life. There were turkey packs in the forest, meadow, in front yards, and even at the bus stop across from the grocery store. It was if they knew that the closer they were to civilization, the safer they would be from hunters.

    It's ok. Not a destination trip by any means, but if you live in and around Spokane it can be a…read moreconvenient and reliable pop-off for hiking or skiing I've heard the skiing is not as great as the nearby competing mountains, and I believe that to be true from my few cross-country experiences this past winter. Winter access means buying a special "Snow Pass" which is something like $80. If you thought your Annual Discover pass would cover you, you're SOL. For someone looking for unfettered access year-round, that's about $115.

    Mount Spokane State Park is a 12,000 acre state park with over 100 miles of trails. It takes about…read more45 minutes to get to the trails from downtown Spokane, but it's a picturesque drive that takes you through farms, before transitioning to farm with forest then ending with thick forest. The trees grow denser the farther up the mountain you go. The climate on Mount Spokane is very humid and is cooler that downtown Spokane. The maintains the green vegetation and provides a more comfortable hiking environment when the rest of Spokane is in the high 80s and 90s. Based on our afternoon at Mount Spokane, I could see how the cool, wet climate would make for a great cross country skiing venue. We only hiked on about 4% of the trails but they were very well maintained and had maps at multiple intersections to assist hikers. The maps took a few minutes to decipher but at least they were there. I've been on many hiking and biking trails where you are forced to use instinct and hope that you did some rudimentary maps research before the hike. One side effect of the dense forest is that there are not many vistas available to hikers because you have to look through the dense pine. I suppose this is a drawback to hiking in wet environments rather than in the desert. On the plus side, the dense pine trees mean that there is always enough shade. My wife showed appreciation for this fact. Many runners passed us on the trail. At first I thought it was a trail running club. It was not until the 4th or 5th hiker until we noticed their bibs. I asked one of the next runners about their race and he said that they were running a 50k. That would be an extraordinary distance to run on such a hilly trail. Maybe one day I can reach that distance but I'm still trying to progress beyond my 5k trail runs.

    We took this hike a few days ago. We took the clockwise way. This trail is absolutely stunning with…read moremany wildflowers, water falls and cascades and lots of tree cover. The trail is very well maintained. I read they did a huge overhaul in 2015 and it shows. There is a beautiful cedar grove about 2 miles in that offers a park bench to sit at. To get there, the trail is relatively flat most of the way with a gradual, barely noticeable incline. Just after the grove you will do some steep switchbacks before heading to the shady side of the mountain and finally, to a beautiful waterfall. If You continue, you will go above the waterfall and find yourself at another much larger waterfall. From there, you will make a slow descent down, and then a much quicker descent. It's said that the trail was 8 and a 1/2 miles. According to my phone, we did much further than that at about 10 miles. This probably is due to the fact that the trailhead is about a 1/2 a mile from the parking lot. We also did some other walking around near the Cedar Grove et cetera. I would recommend doing this trail if you have moderate hiking experience. This could be done with children if they are also seasoned hikers. I wouldn't take very small children though, since on the switch back there isn't much on the side of the trail. There is an equestrian trail as well. We didn't see too many people on that trail other than a couple of mountain bikers. On the main trail, it was decently busy but not enough to feel like it was crowded.

I went this past week, it's winter so the trail is blocked by snow and hard to see path. But Snows never stopped a hike for me, and shouldn't! But due to have no signs on the trail and misleading map in the beginning we just kept hiking and hiking to what seemed like nothing, it was super worrisome! And definitely stressful when you are trying to have fun and don't have a map to get back or signs knowing you are going the right way! So definitely fun but when you are hiking you kinda wanna know where you are and how far you have to go. No hate to this trail it's a great adventure but, just wanted to let people know what they are walking into if they like to hike a few miles. Be safe ya'll
