Mineral Ridge Trail

What a beautiful morning for a hike! Here I am at the top of Mineral Ridge Trail, enjoying one of the many gorgeous views of Lake Coeur d'Alene and the nearby mountains. I only wish that I had more pictures to post, but my camera died. Malia took this one with her phone. Thanks Malia!


Here's Jack and Malia. Jack was so tired after our hike that he fell asleep on my lap in the car on the way home.


This would be a great hiking trail for kids. It's 3.3 miles long with 22 markers along the way identifying natural features of Mineral Ridge. And there are many places with benches to stop and rest.

To get to Mineral Ridge Trail, take Exit 22 off I-90 (just east of Coeur d'Alene), then go south on ID-97 to Beauty Bay Recreational Area.
