Route of the Hiawatha

  
On the shores of Coeur d' Alene, take your bow O Hiawatha.  Entering Montana Exit "0" Lookout Pass to ride the route of "Hiawatha".  The passenger trains in the Midwest, visiting Glacier National Park, all the rage because they were so fast!  They since have become biking trails and this particular route is all downhill (the only ride John will do) and they bus you back up after going over 30 very high bridges, tressels and tunnels.  
 
One tunnel was 1.6 miles long, very cold and dark, flashlights were required and a jacket unless your tough as nails like John.

    
Beautiful views and scenery.  So much water in these parts, it is really not fair.
 

  
We did it, now a relaxing bus ride and what I didn't tell John (you have to ride another 2 miles and go through the 1.6 mile long tunnel, again!)
The most hilarious part was when they unloaded our bikes he was first to watch all bikes go off, I got mine, and they had only one bike left asking who it belonged to, not me said John.  John that is your bike go and get it.  Really?  Leaving beautiful Idaho and heading to Bend Oregon for the family reunion.  Lots of shopping and fun planning to do.  Take care dear friends.
