Road Trip

The waterfront at Coeur d'Alene

Yellowstone - Coeur d’ Alene, ID-Sandpoint, ID and back to Yellowstone.......

Work is slow so we were lucky to get 4 days off.  Of course we could not sit at home-so off we went to Coeur d’ Alene in the northwest part of the Idaho. It is one of the prettiest parts of ID close to WA state. Beautiful mountains and lakes.

We stopped along the way at Wallace-an old mining town.  Nice downtown area to walk  around.  

We got to Coeur d’ Alene in the late afternoon. Had a chance to walk around the beautiful waterfront and have a nice supper in the old part of town.

The next morning we hike Tubbs Hill-a nice trail that overlooks the water front.  We saw 2 osprey’s building a nest.

Later we headed to Sandpoint about an hour north close to Canada. We stayed at the Best Western overlooking Lake Pend Oreille.  We  walk around town and shop at the Coldwater Creek home store (the store was started there). We had a great view from our balcony so we decided  to have wine and snacks while looking at the lake.  Could you ask for a better ending to a great day.

Headed home in the am. Driving on the north side of the lake.  Beautiful drive.
