How wonderful, PP!

We rode the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene in 2014 but did not get to ride the other trails you mention as we only had our road bikes with us, and some of the other trails were unpaved. What a gorgeous area of the country, though! I fell in love with Coeur d'Alene. Hoping to get back up there one of these days and ride more of the trails.

Thanks for sharing! BTW, 90 miles each day -- you are a beast!

I would definitely want bigger tires! We had 700x38's, and they gave us a beating on a couple of sections. I was so done with bumpy gravel roads that on day 2, as soon as we were given the opportunity, we jumped over to the paved highway instead. :-)

We actually did 80 the first day (Harrison to Saltese) and the rest on day 2. I wouldn't recommend the hotel in Saltese btw. If I was to do it again, I think I would do a half day to Wallace, then Wallace to Avery, and last day Avery to Harrison. (I have a friend in Harrison which is why I started there)

We would ride our MTBs on those trails. We hate getting beat up! We rode our Bike Fridays (1.35" tires) on the Katy Trail, but it's very well packed, no large gravel.

It surely looks beautiful!

You will love it. What a wonderful trail. My DH rode the entire thing in 2014, while I rode parts of it. We just rode a segment this summer as we were staying in Hermann in our motorhome.
