My wife and I just got back from the Hiawatha Mountain Bike Trail and we will be going back. What an awesome weekend we had, excellent experience. Views are stunning, weather was excellent, and to do it with my wife was awesome. We are novice bicyclists to say the least so we read lots of reviews and to be honest... More

Make sure you take your own lights. We got all the way up there and tried to rent a light for the bike and they didn't have any left. Of course they had all kinds of bikes to rent, but what good is it if there are not lights. They need to post that on there web site, bring your... More

I hike and bike on average 2-3 times a week in Washington and Oregon and have covered an enormous amount of trails and hikes and have never encountered a worse experiance than the Hiawatha trail. This is truly one of the greatest scams and travisties I have ever encountered and am so angered by the experiance I had I feel... More

The Hiawatha Bike Trail was the highlight of our recent vacation to the Coeur d'Alene area of Idaho. Who knew there were so many great bike trails in the region. We biked the Centennial Trail, which runs from Spokane, Washington, to Coeur d'Alene, and the Couer d'Alene Trail, which runs across Idaho for 73 miles. Both of these latter trails... More

Due to their generally anecdotal nature, travel and recreational reviews tend to focus on one's most recent experience. Happily, everything associated with this early September jaunt down the hill between St. Paul Pass and the Pearson shuttlebus loading area went extremely well. This ride, my eighth along the Hiawatha Trail, took place on Tuesday, September 6, and thus avoided the... More

I do not mind paying for public attractions (Parks and campsites, etc) but I am wondering how this money is being used for the trails? It seems a privately held company is charging a hefty fee to ride on what essentially a tax supported endeavor. They say the fees go toward maintaining the trail, but I have biked down logging...

Picked up the bikes and equipment at Lookout Ski lodge, about $100 for two people including bikes, trail pass, and shuttle bus back. They attached a bike rack to the car then we drove 5 miles East to the trail head. Took about 3.5 hours from the top to bottom and shuttle back to the top. Very easy ride as... More

The Hiawatha Trail is a must-do bicycling adventure via train trestles, tunnels and stunning forest land. Not much pedaling due to the 2% trail decline, but lots of fun! We rented our bikes at the Lookout Pass summit...a caveat...carefully check your bike before departing. Mine was missing the seat adjustment part and the bike had problems with the rear derailer....

Every person we encountered at every point was helpful and kind, The ride was a mixed bag. We're old foggys, late 50s and 60, years since serious bicyclists. The ride begins at the entrance to the longest tunnel. 100 yards in and the eyeglasses haven't lightened and the eyes haven't adjucted and you can't see a thing. My wife wrecked... More
