In the past, after this tour ended, it was common to hear participants saying things like, “It was great, but I wish it had lasted twice as long.” You’ll see exactly what they meant if you choose to join in on this family-fun bike tour through the wild northern reaches of Idaho.
The operative words are “smiles” and “discovery,” as parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles grin with glee about their successful effort to introduce the next generation — kids ages 8 to 18 — to the joys of bicycle travel.
The sense of discovery derives from pedaling along a pair of the most spectacular car-free pathways in the country: the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes and the Route of the Hiawatha. Historic towns, cool swimming holes, and magnificent views are all part of the package. Oh, did we mention the food? It’s fantastic, and so are the impromptu evening fun-fests of frisbee and card games. And no television! Bring your young explorers to northern Idaho and experience one of the best family bicycle tours imaginable.
