It was so much fun to walk through the many different terrains on the different trails. We ended at the iconic bridge and played around in the river for a bit to cool down.

My only warning would be to make sure you bring water and watch it if you're allergic to bees because there were a lot of bees attracted to the water.

This trail runs past ancient Native American pictographs before taking a lazy stroll amidst the singing birds of the Little Spokane River. At the west end of the path, you can turn north and explore the Knothead Valley trail which winds up through ponderosa pines and gives stunning views of the Spokane River below. The 6.5 mile loop drops back across the valley before turning south and ending back at the Painted Rocks trailhead for a solid outing. If you are looking for a longer excursion or just want more time along the river, the easterly trail (across the street and south across the bridge) adds another couple of miles of waterfront scenery.

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/

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!

Turnbull Wildlife Refuge is a 20,000 acre wildlife refuge less than an hour's drive from Spokane…read more It's pristine, untouched wetlands with many short hiking trails through the woods to see the plants and wildlife. We didn't see much wildlife while we were there other than birds, probably because we were there on a hot day and we should've come in the evening if we wanted to see any deer or moose. Also, much of the refuge is not accessible unless you want to stomp through the woods. The deer and bear might have already learned what section of the refuge has the human visitors and have simply decided to stay away from that corner. The trails were all there but some had deteriorated into nothing due to poor maintenance and lack of use. The refuge is not a popular place so you will likely have the place to yourself or only see a few other visitors in the 20,000 acres. Because it is a refuge, the activities are limited, meaning not paddleboarding, biking off road, or fishing. It seemed like the only non-hiking option allowed was hunting during hunting season. There was a wildlife blind overlooking one of the bogs. It appeared to be a sturdy hunting blind but it was specifically designed for viewing nature. If you really want to see a deer and have plenty of time, you can stand in the blind for hours, looking out of the slats along either side, hoping that something walks up. We weren't interested but thought it was a unique feature.
