After a one-hour shuttle we stop at the Old Mission for an introduction to the area’s early history. Built in 1848, it is the oldest standing building in Idaho. Its longevity is made even more impressive by the fact that it was built by hand in 1848 using only mud, dowels, and straw – no nails, bolts, or screws. From the nearby town of Cataldo, we ride the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes to Wallace, another small-town rich in history. So rich in fact that the entire town is listed on the National Historic Register! We stop for lunch in Kellogg (no, we won’t be having cereal). If you arrive in Wallace early this afternoon, or want extra miles, you can continue to the end of the trail in Mullan and back for an additional 15 miles and 850’ gain. Stay at the Brooks Hotel for the next three nights. 26 mi. +953 ft. / -379 ft.

Reisroute
Verscholen in de Bitterroot Mountains van de Idaho panhandle is de "Silver Valley" het beroemdste zilverproducerende gebied ter wereld. Sinds de jaren 1880 is er alleen al meer dan 35.000 ton zilver gewonnen, samen met onnoemelijke hoeveelheden goud, koper, zink, lood en zeldzame kristallen. Tegenwoordig hebben de schoonheid en sereniteit van het gebied, gecombineerd met een verscheidenheid aan gemakkelijk toegankelijke recreatiemogelijkheden, het tot een toevluchtsoord gemaakt voor liefhebbers van het buitenleven en mensen die zich willen vestigen om van hun pensioen te genieten. Rijd over de hele lengte van de vallei over de Hiawatha Trail en de Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, met als hoogtepunt een dag over de Centennial Trail naar Spokane, Washington. Dit netwerk van spoorwegen en paden voor meervoudig gebruik slingert zich langs rivieren en meren door natuurreservaten in de wildernis van Noord-Idaho - misschien wel het dichtst bij de hemel op de fiets. Tussen de ritten door kun je een wandeling maken, plonzen in het kristalheldere water van Lake Coeur d'Alene - en desgewenst zelfs een rondje golfen.
Reisprogramma
Rijd de Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes van Old Mission State Park naar het historische Wallace, Idaho.
Startpunt
Spokane, Washington, United States
Rijd de schilderachtige Hiawatha Trail. Of trap naar een spookstad.
Another fantastic rails-to-trails project, the Route of the Hiawatha Trail was originally hailed as one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country. When the Milwaukee Railroad was operating, the trains traversed through 11 tunnels and over 9 trestles, covering a route across the rugged Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana. The "Route of the Hiawatha" is most famous for the long St. Paul Pass, or Taft Tunnel which burrows for 8771 ft. (1.66 miles) under the Bitterroot Mountains at the state line. Enjoy the stellar views with zero traffic on this mostly downhill ride. Or, if you prefer paved roads to gravel riding, you can cycle up a lovely valley along Canyon Creek to the mining ghost town of Burke. Spend another night in Wallace. 22.8 mi. +1558 ft. / -1566 ft.
Rijd over de Dobson Pass naar Enaville en wandel over de historische Pulaski Trail.
Pedal a remote road over scenic Dobson Pass to the upper Coeur d’Alene River (or, if the climb seems too daunting, get a boost in the van). Cruise downriver past the remains of old logging and mining operations to Enaville – a small town that has managed to persevere despite floods and fires as well as market fluctuations in the timber and mining industry for over 135 years. Pedal or shuttle back to Wallace and go for a hike on the historic Pulaski Tunnel Trail (4 miles, 900’ gain). Visit the site where, in 1910, Ranger “Big Ed” Pulaski led a threatened fire crew to safety in a mine shaft during the calamitous series of wildfires known as the “Big Blowup,” which burned over three million acres in Idaho, Montana, and Washington. Enjoy your last night in Wallace. 38 mi. +2103 ft. / - 2633 ft.
Rijd de Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes naar het sprankelende Coeur d'Alene Lake.
Shuttle back to Cataldo in the morning to begin cycling the western section of the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, a former Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way that follows an even older route once traveled by the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe. The railway carried silver and lead ore from mines in Mullan, Burke and Kellogg to terminals on the Palouse prairie from 1887 up until 1992. Today, it is worth its weight in gold as a scenic bikeway! Leaving the interstate corridor behind, the trail follows the riparian Coeur d’Alene River downriver as it wends through forests and clearings teeming with birds and wildlife. After lunch in Harrison, follow the shoreline of shimmering Coeur d’Alene Lake, eventually crossing to the opposite shore on the Chatcolet Bridge, a converted train trestle over ½-mile long. Enjoy lakeside Heyburn State Park before we shuttle to the Coeur d'Alene Resort, home for the next two nights. Dinner is on your own tonight with a bevy of tasty options to choose from. 49 mi. +1360 ft. / -765 ft.
Verken Coeur d'Alene de stad en stoei in het meer!
Winner of the Expedia.com “Cleanest City in America” award, Coeur d’Alene has a burgeoning economy of active retirees as well as youthful tech start-ups. It is renowned as a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes – cyclists, kayakers, bird-watchers, mountain bikers, skiers, hunters, sailors, hikers, fishermen – the list goes on and on. Spend a day seeing what all the fuss is about...swim, paddle board, golf, sail, or take a scenic cruise on the lake (not included). Or go for another nice bike ride. The choice is yours. Lunch is on your own today and we spend another night at the Coeur d'Alene Resort.
Rijd over het Centennial Trail langs de Spokane River.
The Centennial Trail running between Spokane and Coeur d’Alene was built to commemorate 100 years of statehood for Washington (in 1990) and Idaho (in 1991). Again, our applause! Ride a segment that runs along the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene out and back to a wonderful viewpoint. Continue to relaxing Fernan Lake, where life just doesn’t get much more peaceful. Soak up the tranquility of the setting as much as you can before we are forced to return you to the hustle and bustle of “regular life”.

Reisinformatie
Accommodatie
Onze regionale expertise, een constante herevaluatie van de herbergen van vorig jaar en een voortdurende zoektocht naar de beste ervaring zorgen ervoor dat onze accommodaties altijd tot de beste behoren die het gebied te bieden heeft. Door het aantal gasten op elke reis te beperken, vergroten we onze keuzemogelijkheden en zijn we in staat om in een aantal kleinere, bekroonde bed & breakfasts en herbergen te overnachten die een grotere groep niet zou kunnen herbergen.
De accommodatie is gebaseerd op twee personen die een kamer met eigen badkamer delen. Als je solo reist op een van onze reizen en je staat ervoor open om een kamer te delen met een andere solo reiziger van hetzelfde geslacht, dan betaal je vooraf 50% van de toeslag voor een eenpersoonskamer. Als we je een kamergenoot kunnen toewijzen, krijg je dat bedrag terug. Je kunt een eigen kamer en bad garanderen als je de volledige toeslag betaalt. Soms bestaat een kamer met twee bedden uit één bed plus een opklapbed of slaapbank. Bel ons kantoor om te zien of dit van toepassing is op de reis en datum die je kiest.
Vervoer
Je bent altijd welkom om mee te rijden in het busje - uitleg is niet nodig. Sommigen willen een lift voor maar een paar kilometer; anderen hebben de hele reis in het busje gereden. Het is jouw vakantie - jij beslist.
We gebruiken een vloot van speciaal bestelde en aangepaste 15-persoonsbusjes. De meeste hebben een zevenliter V-10 motor, een hoge achterasverhouding en een zwaar trekhaakpakket om een busje vol mensen efficiënt te kunnen verplaatsen met een grote aanhanger vol bagage en eten. Elk busje heeft ook professionele fietsenrekken voor zwaar gebruik bovenop een op maat gemaakt, stalen platform op het dak.
Verzekering
Maaltijden
Alle maaltijden, behalve een lunch en een diner, zijn bij de prijs van je rondreis inbegrepen. Op de dagen dat je alleen bent voor een maaltijd, zijn er voldoende mogelijkheden op loopafstand van onze locatie.
Bij Bicycle Adventures eten we graag goed. Elke avond wordt gezamenlijk gegeten in het beste restaurant in de omgeving. Als we iedereen een eindje moeten pendelen om bij die speciale plek te komen, dan doen we dat. In de meeste restaurants bestel je wat je wilt van het menu. Behalve alcohol is alles inbegrepen, zelfs voorgerechten, salade, soep, en dessert. Ontbijt wordt meestal verzorgd door de hotels en inns waar we verblijven, maar als er een plaats is die bekend staat om zijn goede ontbijt, dan vinden we die en word je getrakteerd op een voedzame maaltijd om je dag mee te beginnen. De lunch wordt verzorgd in een state park of een andere schilderachtige omgeving halverwege de dagtocht. Gasten zijn altijd verbaasd over de verscheidenheid en kwaliteit van de lunches die we klaarmaken. Behalve broodbeleg en koude drankjes bieden we vers fruit en groenten en warme lunches zoals tortellini met pesto of veggie burrito's. Als je de voorkeur geeft aan een bepaald eet- of drinkartikel, laat het je reisgids weten en we zorgen voor precies de juiste lunch om je energie voor de rest van de dag op peil te houden.
Gedurende de dag zijn water, vruchtensappen, frisdranken, energierepen, fruit, en snacks uit de bus verkrijgbaar. Een koud biertje uit onze koeler wacht aan het eind van de dag, en je kunt de hoogtepunten van de dag herbeleven op onze wijn en kaas party voor het avondeten.
