Ride into history on the Hiawatha

10 years in Spokane and I had yet to explore one of our region's greatest resources. But last week, we changed that and my husband and I took our boys on the Trail of the Hiawatha. It was everything I heard it would be - and more.

A little bit of history, though you can read more yourself here; the Trail of the Hiawatha is a bike trail near Lookout Pass, straddling the Idaho/Montana border. The trail is actually the old railroad line, built more than 100 years ago. On a path that used to carry goods and passengers, you can now ride your bike and read - and feel - history along the way. You ride through old tunnels and over trestles and through some of the best scenery this area has to offer.

The pictures I post here won't even come close to doing this bike trip justice. Do yourself a favor: go. Grab your bike, your helmet and a bright headlamp to get you through those tunnels - or, you can rent that equipment on the mountain. Pack a lunch and get ready to be blown away.
