While the above map from our first brochure in March 2004 is easy to view,
it is not meant to be printed. An high resolution (2352 by 1148 pixel)
version of this early
Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes map may be opened
in a separate window, saved and printed at 300 dpi to
give a readable 7.84 by 3.83 inch map.
The SEVENTH edition of 20,000
Recreational
Trails of the Idaho Panhandle
maps are now in circulation.
This is the same quantity as the sixth edition published
last spring.
These 17" x 22", 20-panel color brochures
(with a forest green front panel background color) are
similar to the sixth edition (tan background),
except for additional
information on the former railbed of the
Old Milwaukee Road,
which we are working
to enhance as a multi-use recreational road and bike
trail along the breathtaking St. Joe River.
Also, various details
have been added to the map for the
Trail of the Coeur
d'Alenes.
Our interest in promoting the Old Milwaukee Road from
the East Portal of the Taft Tunnel to Saltese,
Montana, is also indicated.
We are working with
Lolo National Forest personel to make this a safe, multi-use
recreational trail.
The current edition includes information on
36
hospitality providers along
the Trail of the Coeur
d'Alenes, plus listings for
enterprises in Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, St. Maries and Avery!
As always, our maps are complementary, and are
yours for the asking.
However, we do include
a membership form with
each map in the hope that
you will return the favor by joining us as we work
to build a unified 185 mile bike loop that includes
the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes (paved for bikes and
blades), the Northern Pacific railbed (dirt for multi-use),
and parts of the Milwaukee Road railbed
(mostly dirt for multi-use),
which includes the Route of the Hiawatha (dirt
for mountain bikes and boots).
We have dubbed this adventure the
"Bitterroot 300K Loop."
