Idaho Inline Skating Tour
August 15-19, 2010

"That was the best trail I have ever skated." So said Idaho skate tour participant Jeff Fass, who has been on seven Zephyr trips and has been Rollerblading for over a decade. Jeff's comments were echoed by Ralph Clayton, who has been on 20 (!) Zephyr trips and said "This was the best skating of any tour I have done."

The featured gem of our Idaho skate tour is the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, a 73-mile paved trail that is only a few years old and runs much of the way beside rivers, along lakes, and away from all roads. This is probably the single best inline skating trail we have found in the world and we skate on it for three of our five days.

The other two days we spend on the Centennial Trail, which runs 53 miles from Spokane, Washington to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and the Fish Lake Trail near Spokane. We spend two nights each in the historic mining town Wallace, Idaho and the riverside town of Post Falls, Idaho. This gives us a great overview of the area, definitely an overlooked treasure as far as natural scenery.

In fact, you will be pleasantly surprised at all this area has to offer. Northern Idaho is full of forests, rivers, and lakes. There is interesting history wound up in the small towns we visit. The people are friendly and, most importantly, the inline skating is oustanding. If you are ready for some of the best skating you have ever done, come join us on an Idaho skate tour!

Accommodations
We stay our first two nights at the Red Lion Templins Hotel. The hotel is located in Post Falls, Idaho, directly on the Spokane River and only a few blocks from the Centennial Trail. Our second two nights are at the Wallace Inn, within walking distance of everywhere in the small, historic town of Wallace and right on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene. We can skate to our trails from both hotels.
