The Peavy Family Blog: Trail of the Couer D’Alenes

We got an “early” start on Tuesday to get in a bike ride before it got really hot. We decided to hit a part of the trail we had not done before and do a longer ride.

Marshall was kind enough to drop us at the trail head in Catalgo. T-man did the driving and it took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get us around the lake and up drop off spot.

The ride was somewhat shaded at the beginning, but we were mostly in the sun for the ride. We road along the river the entire way, but much of the trail was cutting through the marshes that are near the river. We saw deer, two moose, a heron and several birds.

We made a couple of stops to read the information signs. We also stopped to use the bike repair kit at one of the trailhead to tighten D-man’s handlebars and had another stop for our snack.

We found a lovely shaded table for our lunch before finishing up the last two miles of the ride. We treated ourselves to ice cream in Harrison while we waited for Marshall to come pick us up in the boat. Matthew was surprised our ride only took us three hours.

I’m glad we started when we did because by the end of the trip it was hot! What a fun new adventure for us all!
