The "Crown Jewel" of Rail-to-Trail Adventures
The Route of the Hiawatha is a breathtaking 15-mile mountain biking and hiking trail featuring 10 train tunnels and 7 sky-high trestles. The crown jewel is the 1.66-mile-long St. Paul Pass Tunnel (Taft Tunnel), taking you through the heart of the Bitterroot Mountains near Lookout Pass Ski Area. The best part? It’s all downhill! Shuttle buses are available to bring you and your bike back to the top, making this family-friendly adventure perfect for everyone—from young kids to seasoned explorers.
The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes is a scenic 72-mile paved, non-motorized trail with a convenient midway access point just 10 minutes from Bear Creek Cabins. Stretching from the Plummer prairie, it winds downhill over the stunning Chatcolet Bridge, follows the Coeur d’Alene River through chain lakes and farmland, and transitions into lush forest as it climbs toward the charming town of Mullan near the Montana border. With picnic tables, benches, rest areas, and well-maintained trailheads along the way, this fully developed trail is perfect for bikers, walkers, and nature lovers alike.

Crystal Gold Mine Underground Tours
Step back into the 1880s and experience life as an underground gold miner at the Crystal Gold Mine near Kellogg, Idaho! As one of the first hard rock mines in the Silver Valley, this hidden gem was hand-dug and worked over a century ago. Now open as a historical attraction, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the past—walk the tunnels, see gold still in the quartz veins, and imagine the grit and determination of early miners.
Historic Town of Wallace, ID
Wallace, Idaho, is a true historical gem—every downtown building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places! In fact, the town's rich history was so significant that the U.S. government had to reroute the Interstate Highway System over, rather than through, Wallace in 1991. Today, you can explore the past while biking the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, which passes directly beneath Interstate 90 as it travels through the narrow Silver Valley. This unique area is the only place on earth where over a billion ounces of silver were mined over the course of a century.

Silverwood Theme Park offers over 70 rides, slides, and attractions for all ages, from family-friendly to heart-pounding thrill rides.
