Biking & Cycling Vacations
Bitterroot Bonanza
For the first time ever, North Idaho’s world class Rails-to-Trails system is linked into a superb itinerary that combines a bike tour with rafting and kayaking. Some departures will be camping trips, while others stay at local hotels and dine out. The trip starts in Spokane, Washington with a bike ride on the Washington/Idaho Centennial Trail along the Spokane River. From there, head to the resort town of Coeur d'Alene, on Lake Coeur d'Alene with time to play in the lake. The next day enjoy a half-day kayak trip and then bicycle tour of the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, one of the jewels of the National Rails-to-Trails system. Trade pedals for paddles and raft the scenic and tumbling Clark Fork River, one of the region's most popular whitewater river trips suitable for rafters of all ages! Then a spectacular day on the historical Hiawatha Trail, where you will bike through tunnels and across dramatic trestles spanning canyons of the Bitterroot Mountains on the Idaho/Montana border. The trail is not far from the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area, one of the largest protected areas in the United States. At the end return to Spokane where your adventure began.
