Coeur d’Alene, ID
We drove part way around the lake on the scenic route Hwy 97. Very windy but very scenic route along the lake! We passed by Beauty Bay and Gotham Bay. Beauty Bay had a small park and trail to a lookout of the bay. Just before Harrison we turned back and headed into Coeur d’Alene. The entire circle route is about 70 miles following Hwy 97 and then onto Hwy 3 back to the I90.

Along Gotham Bay
The Visitor’s Centre is located downtown across from the world’s longest
floating boardwalk about 3,300 feet. It runs from
Independence Point in City Park around The Coeur d’Alene
Resort. The City Park has nice pathways
and a public beach also the N Idaho Centennial bike trail runs through
here. Lunch at Scratch Restaurant was
very good especially the Crab Chowder.
