We love riding the 72-mile bike trail called the “Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes”. It starts in Plummer, Idaho and winds its way along the southern edge of Lake Coeur d’Alene, on up the east side of the lake to Harrison, and then follows the Coeur d’Alene River on

Humboldt Redwoods State Park is located in northern California and covers approximately 53,000 acres full of giant redwoods.
