I-90 and IDAHO

Welcome to Idaho. Your drive through this narrow neck of Idaho will be brief but exhilarating. You enter the state at about 2,000 feet elevation, make a trial zoom up and over a 3,000 foot high pass 25 miles later and leave the state by climbing over a 4,700 foot pass between two beautiful 6,000+ foot peaks.
Northern Idaho is beautifully rugged and gracefully independent. This is 'can do' country and a visit to the city of Coeur d'Alene supplies ample evidence.

Phone (toll free): 1-877-782-9232 - or - view their web site at Coeur d'Alene VCS.

Fantasy in Lights - Almost no one wants to drive across the country on I-90 in mid Winter but, just in case you are here during the holiday season, you certainly do not want to miss their Fantasy in Lights show. We just though we'd mention it, just in case. Get specifics and schedules from the Visitors' Center. 1-877-782-9232.

Tubbs Hill - This small, solitary peak at the south end of town fronting Coeur d'Alene Lake features a very nice, 3.2 mile walking trail which loops around Tubbs Hill. Enjoy great views of the lake plus a pleasant stroll through the woods.
Take I-90 exit 15 and follow I-90 Business (Sherman Avenue) to S. 3rd Street. Turn left, cross the tracks and drive to the parking area at the end of the street.

Coeur d'Alene Lake Scenic Drive - Here is one of the most scenic drives in the region. If eastbound on I-90, take exit 22 and head south on ID-97. This is a good road and follows the east shore of Coeur d'Alene Lake to ID-3 at the southern end. At ID-3, turn left and follow it north, past another chain of lakes, back to I-90 at exit 34.
If you are westbound on I-90, take exit 34 and follow ID-3 southbound to ID-97. Turn right on 97 and follow it, northbound, back to I-90 at exit 22.
