Idaho Coeur d’Alene & the Hiawatha fully-supported Bike Tour

Come to Idaho for some of the most incredible rail trail riding in the country: The famous Route of the Hiawatha and the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes. You’ll get to check these two Rail-to-Trail Conservancy’s Hall of Fame trails off of your bucket list! The Hiawatha treats you to 10 tunnels, including the famous “Taft Tunnel” at 8771 feet long, and 7 steel trestles – one of which is 220 feet high. As you can imagine, stunning scenery and grand vistas await!

An awesome highlight: riding through the 1.66 mile Taft Tunnel. This tunnel was used by the Milwaukee railroad to cross between Idaho and Montana under the crest of the Bitterroot Mountains. Midway through the tunnel an interpretive sign shows the border between the states which was first reached by railroad crews in 1907. There is also a beautiful waterfall at the west portal of the tunnel. You will want to bring a good bike light as the tunnel is dark. Both the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes and the Route of the Hiawatha have been named to Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Rail-Trail Hall of Fame; they are two of the most distinct and memorable rail-trail experiences in the country. This tour is guided and fully support. Most meals and lodging is included.
