Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes
Jeff and Liz came up to Missoula for the weekend and on Friday we drove to Coeur d’Alene. Saturday was spent riding part of the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes.
Opening in 2004,
the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes is a rail trail which follows the former Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way from Mullan, a mountain mining town near the Montana border, to Plummer, a town on the prairie near the Washington border.
From the Friend of Coeur d’Alene Trails website.
The trail is 72 miles of asphalt, closed to all motorized vehicles, and usually following the Coeur d’Alene River. We did an 80 mile out and back ride from Enaville to the bridge over Coeur d’Alene Lake near the western edge of the trail.
Wow, sounds like something in the Picou future!
