This incredible bike tour takes in a pair of the most spectacular trails in the U.S., along with some fascinating regional history. The Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes traces the course of an abandoned Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way, reaching from the Silver Valley near the Montana-Idaho border to Plummer, Idaho, near the border with Washington. The Route of the Hiawatha originates in Montana and burrows beneath the state line through the memorable 1.7-mile–long Taft Tunnel. We’ll then pass through several more tunnels and ride over numerous trestles, some of them an impressive 200-plus feet high. 

With its predominantly gentle terrain, short daily distances, and gorgeous scenery, this trip is a great choice whether you’re a bike travel beginner or a cycling veteran.

Know before you go

Information for Route of the Hiawatha::
We recommend those who may ride with tires less than 35mm in width or a tandem consider renting a bike for the day on the Route of the Hiawatha.

Information for eBike riders:
Because every rider, eBike, road condition, and elevation profile is different, it is ultimately up to the participant to judge best whether their battery will last through each tour day. We recommend using pedal assist in its lowest setting or off when not needed to maximize battery range. Bringing a second battery is also recommended, and it will need to be carried by the participant.
